This book covers essential information necessary in diagnosing and treating pediatric patients in the emergency room.

A second edition to its successful predecessor, this book addresses that need by placing vital clinical management and algorithms into a quick and simple guidebook that can be accessed within moments from a scrub pocket or white coat. It includes updated chapters from the original table of contents, as well as new chapters that address important topics, such as approaches to domestic violence and child abuse.

Though it includes new chapters, it is still an easy, quick access reference that can be used for those facts that are absolutely essential, but are often difficult to remember. Color images and flow charts allow doctors to grasp the essentials quickly, while more detailed explanations are included alongside for trainees.
