Covering everything from airway management and ventilation, wound care, and cardiac procedures to resuscitation, diagnostic imaging, and sedation, Roberts and Hedges’ Clinical Procedures in Emergency Medicine and Acute Care, Eighth Edition, provides the practical, highly visual information you need in emergency medicine and acute care practice. Comprehensive, detailed, and up to date, this copiously illustrated reference describes in detail both the common and uncommon procedures you’re likely to consider (how, why, when to, and when not to perform them), as well as recommends other emergency or acute care procedures that may be an option. For clinicians at all levels of experience, this fully revised 8th Edition remains the most well-known and trusted procedures manual in its field.
