AFEM Handbook of Acute and Emergency Care 1st Edition () (PDF) by Professor Lee A. Wallis

Description

The main burden of disease in most African countries presents as emergencies, yet emergency care is massively neglected. The AFEM Handbook of Acute and Emergency Care equips healthcare workers in the sub-Saharan Region to investigate and manage patients who present with a range of acuteconditions.The Handbook takes the reader through the approach to the patient in a moderately resourced setting (e.g. where an X-ray machine and oxygen is available), or in a setting with full resources (e.g. CT scanner, cardiac catheterisation lab). This unique stratified approach is tailored to thespecificities of the African context. In addition, the book includes a set of syndrome-based Rapid Assessment Protocols to facilitate rapid intervention for undifferentially critically ill patients.

⭐Wonderful resource.

⭐This book is the bees knees if you’re working in an understaffed and under-resourced setting. It’s great for studying as well.

⭐A must for everybody working with limited EM resources!

⭐An outstanding book for emergency medicine in resource-poor settings, both within Africa and outside!
