Description
A complete revision of the successful pocketbook, the fourteenth edition of A Pediatric Vade-Mecum will continue to provide, students and pediatric residents with invaluable information on the diagnosis and management of illness in children. Thoroughly revised and updated throughout and with a new editorial and author team, it will provide the trainee with practical evidence-based advice for the safe and effective management of the sick child. Retaining the easy-to-digest style that has made previous editions so popular, the content has been restructured into five major sections: acute pediatric problems, outpatient pediatrics, formulary, normal values and glossary of terms, with entries in sections 1 and 2 organized alphabetically for ease of reference. Key Features: * Covers immediate management of common emergencies and pediatric conditions supplemented with useful background information * Provides evidence-based treatment guidelines and information on conditions not always covered by local departmental protocols * Based on the needs of doctors in training * Includes useful pediatric formulary based upon Medicines for Children for rapid reference * Enhanced in this new edition by the inclusion of a helpful ‘Glossary of terms’
