An Evidence-Based Approach To Cardiovascular Emergencies
EB Medicine, Aug 2011, Pages: 140
Using more than 6 months of research, the Emergency Medicine Practice Editors and Editorial Board have systematically updated 4 Emergency Medicine Practice articles - adding new, relevant practice recommendations into each article.
An Evidence-Based Approach To Cardiovascular Emergencies discusses the state of the literature: Is it weak or strong? Based mainly on consensus or tradition?
In particular, it stresses any major randomized controlled trials and nationally published guidelines, and admits when there is very little hard evidence to support the dogma. It also criticizes gaps in logic and leaps of faith contained in prominent guidelines, such as ACLS or ATLS. In addition, it provides you with dozens of useful tools to aid in decision making.
This volume of the Emergency Medicine Practice Clinical Excellence Series offers:
- Important clinical tools that include targeted questions regarding the patient history and suggestions regarding a focused physical examination -- concentrating on the “big-ticket” questions that help practicing physicians in their search for crucial physical findings.
- Clinical pathways that present solid diagnostic and treatment strategies, with each recommendation for action graded according to strength of evidence.
- Pitfalls to avoid that provide risk management advice highlighting problem areas that could compromise patient care.
- Cost- and time-effective strategies that show that saving time and money in the ED doesn't have to mean cutting corners.
- Class of evidence ratings in treatment algorithms that help you weigh the strength of the recommendations so you can decide if they are right for your patient.
