Pre-hospital Obstetric Emergency Training

Advanced Life Support Group, Manchester, UK
The Pre-hospital Obstetric Emergency Training (POET) programme provides an introduction to
the obstetric patient and the anatomical and physiological changes that occur during pregnancy
(including interpretation of patient-held records and rapid assessment of the obstetric patient).
It includes clear definitions and describes risk factors, diagnosis and pre-hospital management of
significant problems that occur in both early and late pregnancy and the immediate postnatal
period. These are all situations that the pre-hospital practitioner may attend.
This text and the accompanying integrated on-line and hands on course will help practitioners
identify and manage a range of time-critical obstetric emergencies specifically in the prehospital setting, and provides a structured examination and assessment technique as an aid to
determining what treatment should be provided before transport, as well as when and how
urgently transport should be initiated.
POET is of relevance to paramedics, ambulance staff, doctors, and nurses working in the emergency pre-hospital setting
and to midwives facilitating home births. It will also be of considerable value to medical and nursing practitioners working in
Emergency Departments and unscheduled care settings where immediate access to skilled obstetric assistance is not available.

Occupational Emergency
Medicine
Michael Greenberg, Drexel University College of
Medicine
With a large proportion of emergency admissions due to
occupational health problems, the effect this can have on
your practice cannot be ignored. Owing to the shortage
of occupational physicians and limited worker access to
health care, the diagnosis and treatment of occupational
diseases rely increasingly on the emergency physician.
Apart from extra paperwork, owing to the extra legal
and administrative regulations, a lack of knowledge of
occupational medicine can risk a missed diagnosis.
This burden of work means occupational disorders
impact the whole of the emergency department. Michael
Greenberg addresses your questions and concerns about
the management of these patients:
from triage to discharge, and beyond
for all work-place injuries or disorders, whether officebased, agricultural or industrial
and their employment regulations
Occupational Emergency Medicine is an essential reference
for emergency physicians and trainees, featuring
comprehensive information on legal issues involving the
physician, and advice on managing occupational health
admissions.

Emergency Medicine

pitfalls and mistakes that can occur when dealing
with high-risk conditions during standard medical
practice. Concise chapters focus on clinical relevance,

Clearly organized around the tendencies

of the good emergency physician, it has a
dedication to evidence, with the clear belief
that data will protect our patients.

Emergency Triage
2nd Edition
Manchester Triage Group
The Manchester Triage System (MTS) is the most widely used triage system in the UK, Europe
and Australia, with tens of millions of patients being processed through hospital emergency
departments. Emergency Triage is the core text for the MTS which utilises a risk adverse system
of prioritisation for patients in all unscheduled care settings, and as such it is an essential text for
all emergency department staff using the MTS, in particular triage nurses themselves.
This second edition has been revised throughout and takes in the changes in practice introduced
into MTS to reflect the more up to date, modified approach to triage while retaining the
principles of clinical prioritisation, which in the authors words remains a central plank of clinical
risk management in emergency care.
Emergency Triage is an essential handbook for all clinicians involved in unscheduled care settings such as emergency care,
walk in centres, minor injury units, and primary care out-of-hours services.

physicians encounter in the emergency setting using an evidence-based approach.
It summarizes the published evidence available for the diagnosis and treatment of common emergency health care problems
in adults. Each chapter contextualizes a topic area using a clinical vignette and generates a series of key clinically important
diagnostic and treatment questions. By completing detailed reviews of diagnostic and treatment research, using evidence
from systematic reviews, RCTs, and prospective observational studies, the authors provide conclusions and practical
recommendations.
Focusing primarily on diagnosis in areas where evidence for treatment is well accepted (e.g. DVTs), and treatment in other
diseases where diagnosis is not complex (e.g. asthma), this text is written by leading emergency physicians at the forefront
of evidence-based medicine. Evidence-based Emergency Medicine is ideal for emergency physicians and trainees, emergency
department staff, and family physicians specialising in the acute care of medical and injured patients.

This scenario-based text provides answers to urgent and
emergent questions in acute, emergency, and critical care
situations focusing on the electrocardiogram in patient
care management. The text is arranged in traditional topic
areas such as ACS, dysrhythmia, etc yet each chapter is
essentially a question with several cases illustrating the
clinical dilemma the chapter itself is a specific answer
to the question.
This is a unique format among textbooks with an ECG
focus. The clinical scenarios cover the issues involved in
detecting and managing major cardiovascular conditions.
Focused, structured discussion then solves these
problems in a clinically relevant, rapid, and easy to read
fashion.
This novel approach to ECG instruction is ideal for
practicing critical care and emergency physicians,
specialist nurses, cardiologists, as well as students and
trainees with a special interest in the ECG.

emergencies, ranging from basic rhythm diagnosis to
critical care applications of the electrocardiogram
and advanced 12-lead ECG interpretation in the
ACS patient. It provides self testing traces covering
all these conditions seen in prehospital and hospitalbased environments. It includes 200 randomly
presented cases mirroring real life situations, with the
answers set out separately together with additional
invaluable information.

A minimum amount of information is given beneath each
trace, as if in the real situation. The full clinical description
is printed in a separate section to avoid the temptation
of looking.
Accompanied by learning points, and with the cases
presented randomly, this book provides a rich source of
information on the interpretation of ECGs a core skill
for all emergency department staff.

Advanced Practice in Critical Care provides experienced

critical care nurses with a clear and distinct evidence
base for contemporary critical care practice. Central to
the book is the application of research and evidence to
practice and, therefore, case studies and key critical care
clinical situations are used throughout the book.
This key new book provides in-depth rationales for
contemporary critical care practice in an effort to
increase the depth of knowledge of nurses who
care for the critically ill patient, so that they can truly
evaluate their care interventions in view of underlying
pathophysiology and evidence. Each chapter introduces
a patient scenario, which is developed and explored
throughout the course of the chapter. Advanced
assessment techniques are explained and the underlying
pathophysiology is discussed in depth.
Advanced Practice in Critical Care is an essential resource
for experienced practitioners within critical care whom
primarily care for patients requiring high dependency or
intensive care.

Emergencies of the GI tract present an enormous

challenge to practicing gastroenterologists. The second
edition of Gastrointestinal Emergencies provides a
practical, up-to-date guide for immediate reference
by the practitioner trying to manage complications
or emergencies. The text focuses on a range of
conditions such as acute pancreatitis, esophageal
perforation, capsule endoscopy complications, acute
appendicitis, and the difficulties after endoscopy
procedures. Gastroenterologists, endoscopists,
hepatologists, and GI specialist nurses, and emergency
care physicians, whether in training or in practice, will
find it an absolutely essential reference tool.

Inherent to the teaching and practice of emergency

medicine are specific challenges not found in other
specialties the unknowns of the emergency
department, the need to identify life- and limbthreatening conditions, the pressure to solve problems
and find solutions quickly, and the orchestration of
clinical specialists and ancillary services.
Because of these unique demands, books written
by clinicians from other disciplines, that extrapolate
their information from other specialties, arent
always suitable references for teachers of emergency
medicine. This book is different it shows how to
incorporate effective teaching strategies into the
unique teaching atmosphere of the emergency
department, how to effectively lecture, lead small
groups, give feedback, foster life-long faculty
development skills, and much more - it is written
by emergency medicine physicians for emergency
medicine physicians.
Practical Teaching in Emergency Medicine gets to
the essential core of how to best teach the art of
practicing emergency medicine and provides the
blueprint to become a better teacher, providing
guidance on how to accomplish skilful teaching in
busy emergency departments. It provides emergency
physicians and trainees with the necessary tools
to effectively and efficiently transmit information
to learners in the often times chaotic emergency
department environment.

Medicine, Birmingham; The Royal Centre for Defence Medicine, Birmingham; Queens
Medical Centre, Nottingham University NHS Trust and University of Nottingham
Surgical patients are increasingly undergoing operative procedures that require complex
post-operative care followed by prolonged rehabilitation in the community, and few
leave surgery without a wound, tube, line or drain. The care of these surgical adjuncts is
undertaken either in hospital by ward staff or away from the hospital in the community,
where GPs and practice nurses are expected to take over the day-to-day management of
this care.
The ABC of Tubes, Drains, Lines and Frames is a practical guide that provides a clear account of the key issues involved in the
assessment and management of surgical wounds, tubes, drains, lines and stomas from the operating theatre to the Critical
Care unit and from the ward into the community. It highlights common pitfalls and includes trouble shooting sections that
provide an understanding of the issues at all stages of post-operative care.
This new ABC is an invaluable resource for all GPs, practice nurses, surgical nurses, junior doctors, and community
paramedics.

to be evaluated. This book describes a systematic approach to assessing radiographs, with
instructions on the appearances of radiological abnormalities and comparing these with
normal radiographs. Each chapter covers a different part of the body and leads through the
anatomy, followed by the different types of view to request, the system of assessment itself,
and pitfalls to avoid.

of examples that can be referred to in the heat of an emergency. It will be invaluable for accident and emergency staff,
trainee radiologists, medical students, nurses, and radiographers.
