Emergency physicians assess and manage a wide variety of problems from patients presenting with a diversity of severities, ranging from mild to severe and life-threatening. They are expected to maintain their competency and expertise in areas where there is rapid knowledge change.
Evidence-Based Emergency Medicine is the first book of its kind in emergency medicine to tackle the problems practicing physicians encounter in the emergency setting using an evidence-based approach. It summarizes the published evidence available for the diagnosis and treatment of common emergency health care problems in adults. Each chapter contextualizes a topic area using a clinical vignette and generates a series of key clinically important diagnostic and treatment questions. By completing detailed reviews of diagnostic and treatment research, using evidence from systematic reviews, RCTs, and prospective observational studies, the authors provide conclusions and practical recommendations.
Focusing primarily on diagnosis in areas where evidence for treatment is well accepted (e.g. DVTs), and treatment in other diseases where diagnosis is not complex (e.g. asthma), this text is written by leading emergency physicians at the forefront of evidence-based medicine. Evidence-Based Emergency Medicine is ideal for emergency physicians and trainees, emergency department staff, and family physicians specialising in the acute care of medical and injured patients.
Features:
- Summarizes high-quality published evidence available for the diagnosis and treatment of common emergency health care problems in adults
- Provides detailed descriptions of diagnostic and treatment methods, accompanied by supporting evidence
- Focuses primarily on diagnosis in areas where evidence for treatment is well accepted (DVTs), and treatment in other diseases where diagnosis is not complex (e.g., asthma)
- Written by leading emergency physicians at the forefront of evidence-based medicine - the McMaster’s group in Canada are THE experts on Evidence-Based Emergency Medicine

ACP Medicine is the first comprehensive reference to carry the name of the American College of Physicians. Developed to help busy physicians keep up with changing guidelines in primary care, ACP Medicine is a continually updated, evidence-based reference of internal medicine.
This respected adult primary care reference not only addresses the underlying science of a given condition but also provides the experts’ recommended approach to diagnosis and treatment. Sections cover the internal medicine disciplines, as well as dermatology, neurology and psychiatry. Abundant references to current best evidence ensure further study time is well spent, and exquisite illustrations, many in four-color, enhance understanding of difficult scientific concepts. Continually updated, with approximately 15 new and revised chapters incorporated each quarter, this peer-reviewed reference is also praised for its readability.
