The edition includes the latest data on the role and importance of Emergency Medicine. The range of conditions that EM is called to address is broad and covers the entire spectrum of ages and medical specialties, which is why specialized training of medical and nursing staff is deemed necessary. The twenty-three chapters of the textbook comprehensively and extensively depict the breadth of the subject matter, with images, diagrams, and tables contributing significantly to the easier understanding of the content. Patient resuscitation and stabilization by physicians, along with the initiation of laboratory and clinical investigation of the condition, form the basis of final therapeutic management.
