Minor Trauma in Children by Alison Smith,Joan Robinson,Ffion Davies Pdf

Childhood trauma is common and parental anxiety ensures frequent presentations to Accident and Emergency Departments, primary-care physicians and minor injury units. The management of serious injury is well covered by the several existing manuals but handling minor trauma - often equally scarring both physically and emotionally - can still cause difficulties, particularly for junior Accident and Emergency doctors not trained in the management of children. This handy pocket guide has been designed to enable doctors, nurses and emergency nurse practitioners to manage common minor injuries in children appropriately, to know when to ask for help and, of equal importance, to identify when minor trauma is indicative of a more serious diagnosis. Providing concise information on initial assessment of the child, differential diagnosis and management of a wide range of minor traumas, the text is presented in an easy-to-read format with numerous lists, key points for rapid reference flagged for the reader with suitable symbols, and explanatory photographs and line diagrams. This book will be an essential purchase for junior doctors, nurse practitioners, staff in emergency departments, minor injuries units, primary care centres and paediatricians both in hospitals and in the community, to be referred to frequently in any setting that receives children following minor injury or trauma.

Emergency Care for Children by Institute of Medicine,Board on Health Care Services,Committee on the Future of Emergency Care in the United States Health System Pdf

Children represent a special challenge for emergency care providers, because they have unique medical needs in comparison to adults. For decades, policy makers and providers have recognized the special needs of children, but the system has been slow to develop an adequate response to their needs. This is in part due to inadequacies within the broader emergency care system. Emergency Care for Children examines the challenges associated with the provision of emergency services to children and families and evaluates progress since the publication of the Institute of Medicine report Emergency Medical Services for Children (1993), the first comprehensive look at pediatric emergency care in the United States. This new book offers an analysis of: • The role of pediatric emergency services as an integrated component of the overall health system. • System-wide pediatric emergency care planning, preparedness, coordination, and funding. • Pediatric training in professional education. • Research in pediatric emergency care. Emergency Care for Children is one of three books in the Future of Emergency Care series. This book will be of particular interest to emergency health care providers, professional organizations, and policy makers looking to address the pediatric deficiencies within their emergency care systems.
