Editorial Reviews

Review

Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), 01-JUL-08 -- "Now in its second edition, the Textbook of Pediatric Emergency Procedures should assume its rightful place on the bookshelf of any physician caring for critically ill or injured children. The Textbook of Pediatric Emergency Procedures is well written, well organized, and comprehensive. I congratulate King and Henretig on this second edition of what I believe will become a classic textbook that sets the standard for the field."-Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) Ambulatory Pediatrics, 01-SEP-08 -- "The second edition of the Textbook of Pediatric Emergency Procedures should be a welcome addition for a variety of practitioners. It does a laudable job of describing the procedures, including indications, complications, and documentation. There are other books available on pediatric procedures, but none to my knowledge as well-suited for the intended wide-ranging audience of practitioners who care for children."-Ambulatory Pediatrics Annals of Emergency Medicine, 01-OCT-08 -- "In summary, the editors and authors of this book have produced much more than just the definitive text on pediatric emergency procedures. The second edition of the Textbook of Pediatric Emergency Procedures is a vital resource for all who care for acutely ill or injured children."-Annals of Emergency Medicine --This text refers to an alternate Hardcover edition.
