Children with Medical Complexity in the Emergency Department

Pediatric Emergencies provides a comprehensive, clinically focused guide to the practical management of pediatric emergencies, organized by organ system. Each chapter covers background, classic and atypical presentations, differential diagnosis, diagnostic confirmation, treatment, clinical algorithms, disposition, complications, and common pitfalls. Clinical pearls and real-world case examples allow readers to compare pediatric complaints with adult presentations, making this resource highly applicable at the bedside. More clinically oriented than a traditional textbook and more thorough than a typical clinical guide, it is ideal for emergency physicians, residents, pediatric emergency fellows, pediatricians, and primary care providers in urgent care settings.
