An Evidence-Based Approach to Techniques & Procedures For The 21st Century
EB Medicine, March 2008
The articles selected for this volume focus on topics that impact the daily practice of emergency physicians. These articles strive to give you up-to-date information on emergency imaging (ultrasound), endotracheal intubation, procedural sedation, and noninvasive airway management techniques. While the vast majority of growth in this area has been from the clinical application and diagnostic utility fronts, politics and hospital-community relations can also play a role.
In keeping with the evidence-based approach for which Emergency Medicine Practice is known, this volume contains over 500 references. The quantity and depth of background literature that is distilled in each of the articles makes their reading well worthwhile. Each article focuses the body of literature into useful and readily accessible information for the clinician. In addition, this volume offers:
- Clinical pathways that present solid diagnostic and treatment strategies, with each recommendation for action graded according to strength of evidence.
- References which present pertinent information such as type of study and number of patients.
- Tables where key information is condensed in an easy-to-read format.
- 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.
