About this book

This full-color atlas is a step-by-step, visual guide to the most common procedures in emergency medicine. Procedures are described on a single page, or two-page spreads, so that the physician can quickly access and review the procedure at hand. The atlas contains more than 600 diagnostic algorithms, schematic diagrams and photographic illustrations to highlight the breadth and depth of emergency medicine. Topics are logically arranged by anatomic location or by type of procedure and all procedures are based on the most current and evidence-based practices known.

Reviews

“Atlas of Emergency Medicine Procedures is a thoughtful reference text with more than the common range of emergency medicine procedures. It is accessible to the learner and written well for quick review by a more seasoned emergency medicine provider. The visual learner will certainly welcome the impressive number of illustrations found within this atlas.” (Jason D. Heiner, Annals of Emergency Medicine, Vol. 70 (5), November, 2017)

“The audience is anyone working in the field of emergency medicine. It would serve as an excellent reference for seasoned providers needing a quick refresher prior to performing a procedure. It also would be of particular interest to mid‐levels, residents, and students in the emergency department who are learning procedures for the first time. … The concise layout is easy to read, and the procedures are presented in a practical step‐by‐step manner with excellent pictures and illustrations.” (Jill Schuld, Doody's Book Reviews, June, 2016)
