Book Description

0781770327 978-0781770323 September 27, 2007 Second

Now in its Second Edition, this text focuses exclusively on the management of hospitalized pediatric patients from admission to discharge. It is an excellent resource for residency programs, hospitalist fellowships, and continuing education for physicians whose practice includes the management of hospitalized newborns and children. Because pediatric hospital care is provided by a wide variety of healthcare professionals and in many different hospital settings, this text provides a framework for unified management and effective and efficient care. This edition includes new sections on emergency medicine and psychiatric hospitalization and expanded coverage of management of children with complex and chronic conditions.

1.0 out of 5 stars dont waste your time or money, August 9, 2009
By 
This review is from: Pediatric Hospital Medicine: Textbook of Inpatient Management (Hardcover)
This book attempts to be a jack of all trades but unfortunatly is a master of none, most topics glossed over, not enough depth, save your money and get a good internet connection, you will find more useful information and it will be up to date too!

4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty Good, October 14, 2007
By 
Hospital MD (Philadelphia, PA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Pediatric Hospital Medicine: Textbook of Inpatient Management (Hardcover)
This is the first textbook aimed at pediatricians who practice predominantly or exclusively in the hospital setting. Hospital medicine is more similar to emergency medicine as opposed to outpatient practice. Therefore, established pediatrics textbooks such as Nelson, Oski and Rudolph are less practical for hospital medicine. Those books cannot focus on inpatient conditions with sufficient depth and still remain relatively small (ie 1 volume or 2 volumes) and inexpensive. This hospital medicine book is a nice attempt to cover the scope of hospital practice. However, the quality of the chapters is variable. Some are excellent while others lack practical management strategies. Residents will find this book useful as it covers the scope of hospital practice more effectively than the established pediatric textbooks.
