Handbook of emergency department procedures - John Bache

A comprehensive step-by-step colour guide to nearly 100 procedures carried out in a modern accident & emergency department, updated text and 250 colour photographs. The procedures are grouped into five categories. Each procedure is described in a straightforward fashion, starting with a consideration of its uses, followed by the equipment needed, the carrying out of the procedure itself, and finishing with pertinent advice to give to patients who have undergone the procedure. Practical Procedures in the Emergency Department will be invaluable to all those who carry out emergency patient procedures whether in a hospital, hospice, GP practice or home setting. It will also be of special interest to paramedics and ambulance crew.
