Review

"If I am asked what is the best text on how to do procedures. There is only one answer, Roberts and Hedges...There are now four associate editors and 106 contributors, the list of whom is a "whos who" of Emergency Medicine...this is going to continue to be the most used textbook in the Emergency Department and will be a great source of background information and techniques for those giving lectures and setting up workshops in emergency procedures. I highly recommend that everyone involved in Emergency Medicine, whether clinical, teaching, pre-hospital care, or research, have access to this book." -The Journal of Emergency Medicine, August 2004
