The book covers medical, surgical and orthopedic aspects of emergency medicine in a concise but comprehensive manner. Since prompt recognition and appropriate management of the emergencies make the difference between life and death, the main focus of the book is on these two aspects of various emergencies. The book provides uptodate information on practices of optimal emergency management. An important aspect of the book is the step by step description of diagnostic and therapeutic aspects which will guide the physicians in providing most efficient initial care to the patients while awaiting specialist help. Since almost no existing Indian book covers all types of emergencies in a practical and user-friendly manner, this book will fill the void.
The authors, faculty at All India Institutes of Medical Sciences, have a long, first-hand experience in dealing with both medical and traumatic emergencies. From their personal experience, an initial approach has been given in almost all the chapters. Several tables and figures have been included for easy understanding.
