Description
- A concise guide to the practical management of surgical emergencies
- Covers emergency situations encountered before and after surgery
- Material is grouped by presentation with cross referencing to more detailed disease specific information
- Features icons and algorithms to help the reader gauge the severity of the situation
- An ideal companion for Foundation Programme surgical rotations and for those based in emergency departments
Due to reduced working hours amongst junior doctors, a quick-reference, practical
guide to common emergency surgical problems and trauma is needed more than ever.
'Emergencies in Clinical Surgery' aims to make the life of junior surgeons easier.
It is written in an easily accessible, concise style, and is in a pocket-sized
format that means that readers are able to refer to it on the ward, or on the
way down to the Emergency Department. The use of icons indicating the degree
of urgency for each condition helps to focus the mind of the reader and aid
in the identification of true emergencies.
Part 1 deals with three different approaches to the sick surgical patient, as
well as communication and how to prepare the patient for emergency surgery,
endoscopy, or interventional radiology. Part 2 is concerned with the assessment
and management of trauma emergencies, the acute abdomen, and ward emergencies.
Conditions are cross-referenced to more detailed topics in Part 3 ('Disease-based
emergency surgery'). This contains a fuller description of individual diseases
with comments on initial and further investigations and management. Specific
early complications after surgery, endoscopy, and interventional radiology are
also dealt with. Finally, Part 4 describes how to perform common procedures,
along with their indications, contraindications, and post-procedure care.
Readership: This book is primarily aimed at Foundation Year doctors, surgical house officers, those studying for the MRCS exam, and junior surgical registrars. The book will also appeal medical students, surgical nursing staff and anaesthetists wanting a greater understanding of common emergency surgical problems.
