"280 Emergency Department Presentations: Quick-Reference Pocket Guide" was created to meet the urgent needs of frontline clinicians who require clear, concise information exactly when they need it. Drawing on thousands of real-world cases and feedback from residents, attending physicians, paramedics, and nurses, this guide distills the most common scenarios into a single, easy-to-navigate resource.
Purpose & Scope
Rapid Retrieval: Organized into 14 organ-system chapters, each entry is indexed and laid out uniformly so you can jump straight to the topic under pressure.
Focused Content: Each of the 280 presentations highlights only the "must-know" elements—key identifiers and critical numbers—without lengthy background detail.
Key Features
System-Based Organization: Navigate by Cardiovascular, Pulmonary, Neurologic, Gastrointestinal, Genitourinary & OB/GYN, Musculoskeletal & Soft Tissue, Dermatologic, Hematologic & Oncologic, Endocrine & Metabolic, Psychiatric, Toxicologic & Poisoning, Trauma & Environmental, ENT & Head & Neck, and Ophthalmologic presentations.
Uniform Entry Layout: Every presentation follows the same structure—title, essential highlights, and page reference—minimizing cognitive load.
Critical One-Page Tables: Includes vital-sign norms, laboratory ranges, common scoring systems (e.g., GCS, APGAR, RTS), and medication-conversion charts so you have immediate access to lifesaving numbers.
Expert-Reviewed: Content has been vetted by experienced emergency-medicine clinicians to ensure relevance and accuracy.
Who Should Use It
Residents & Medical Students seeking a high-yield companion between shifts and study sessions.
Attending Physicians & Physician Assistants wanting a reliable safety net during consults on less-familiar cases.
