About the Author

The editors are eager to proceed with this new venture and will receive enthusiastic support from the emergency medicine community. Judy Tintinalli will continue as editor-in-chief and will devote a significant amount of time to setting up the editorial system, helping us define features, and securing sources for multimedia content. In addition our plan is to develop a separate online editorial advisory board with some representation from residents and younger Internet savvy MD’s. ACEP’s role in the project has not yet been established but will be defined after presentation of this proposal to Editorial Board. The editors for this project will be the same as the book although we will consider the addition of others in our forthcoming planning meeting.

This review is from: Emergency Medicine (Paperback)

An amazing amount of information in a compact format. This handbook condenses the gold standard emergency medicine text (Tintinalli's Emergency Medicine) into a format you can carry around.

All the conditions you will encounter in the emergency room are included. Pathophysiology, diagnosis, key points, clinical protocols and management issues are covered such as:

Resuscitative Problems and Techniques

Shock

Analgesia, Anesthesia and Sedation

Emergency Wound Management

Cardiovascular Diseases

Pulmonary Emergencies

Gastrointestinal Emergencies

Renal and Genitourinary Disorders

Gynecology and Obstetrics

Pediatrics

Infectious Diseases/Immunology

Toxicology

Environmental Injuries

Endocrine Emergencies

Hematologic and Oncologic Emergencies

Neurology

Eye, Ear, Nose, Throat and Oral Emergencies

Disorders of the Skin

Trauma

Fractures and Dislocations

Muscular, Ligamentous and Rheumatic Disorders

Psychosocial Disorders

Abuse and Assault

...and that's just the main sections. This portable wealth of knowledge not only will help one prepare for exams on emergency medicine it serves as an excellent, comprehensive reference on the job.

I like it because you can't carry the complete Tintinalli around but you can certainly carry this around and not really know the difference in terms of information retrieval.

It is continually updated, meticulously edited and is reviewed by the best experts in each area of expertise. If you are in an emergency room, this is the indispensable guide. This companion handbook has a remarkable amount of data for its size and other pocket handbooks do not come close. Yes, the price is worth the information, you get what you pay for and if you are doing emergency medicine, you've got to have it.

If you are going to carry a reference, why not carry the standard in the field?
