hardcover. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.…

Authors also address many specific high-risk chief complaints, including chest pain, abdominal pain, and headache.

Boards show light shelfwear, gently bumped lower spine edge. Issued without a dust jacket. -- Contents: Clinical Practice Guidelines in the Emergency Department; Professional Liability Insurance; Legal Process; Managing Emergency Department Overcrowding; Risk Management for the Emergency Physician: Competency and Decision-Making Capacity, Informed Consent, and Refusal of Care Against Medical Advice; Evaluation of Physician Competency and Clinical Performance in Emergency Medicine; Triage, EMTALA, Consultations, and Prehospital Medical Control; Critical Aspects of Emergency Department Documentation and Communication; Physical and Chemical Restraints; Evaluation of the Psychiatric Patient; High-Risk Chief Complaints I: Chest Pain - The Big Three; High-Risk Chief Complaints II: Disorders of the Head and Neck; High-Risk Chief Complaints III: Abdomen and Extremities; Afterword: High Success Approach; Index -- Litigation is a constant threat to the practicing emergency physician. The very nature of the practice of emergency medicine makes adverse outcomes unavoidable. We often have no knowledge of the preexisting medical conditions of the patients we treat. Many of our patients have no access to essential medical care, causing them to present late in the course of disease. Lack of an ongoing relationship with the patient and family makes litigation more likely when adverse outcomes occur. In this issue, we have attempted to provide some principles of emergency medical practice that may help avoid litigation. The article on clinical practice guidelines provides a framework for when guidelines should be followed and when it is acceptable to deviate from them. The article on professional liability insurance discusses what types of malpractice insurance is available to emergency practitioners, and reviews the amount of settlements and judgments issued in recent years. The article on the legal process describes in detail the process of being a defendant or an expert witness in a malpractice action. The article on emergency department overcrowding describes perhaps the most pervasive problem in emergency medicine today, with strategies for lowering risk. The article on informed consent provides insights into dealing with patients who refuse treatment and for determining whether these patients have the capacity to refuse treatment. The article also touches on alternative care plans and implied consent. Physician review will soon become a required component of board certification and hospital credentialing in emergency medicine, and the article on this important topic describes the latest state and federal agency requirements. The article on the Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act (EMTALA) gives a current description of what emergency physicians should do to remain in compliance of this federal 'anti-dumping law.' The article on documentation and communication covers the key issues of how to minimize risk and bad outcomes during change of shift, admission, and discharge of patients. It also focuses on the importance of thorough, concise, and clear charting, which is too often ignored in the practice of emergency medicine. The article on physical and chemical restraints covers the management of the very high risk group of patients who are combative and uncooperative. The article on the psychiatric patient discusses two very high risk areas in emergency medicine: the area related to psychiatric patients requiring a medical evaluation, and the area related to the question of involuntary hospitalization of patients with suicidal ideation, homicidal ideation, and acute psychosis. The final three articles describe how to avoid medical legal pitfalls in the management of patients with high-risk chief complaints. …

Paperback. Condition: Good. As the global geriatric population continues to grow, an increasing proportion of people reporting to emergency departments are elderly. The work-up of these patients uses more time and resources than that of younger patients, and is complicated by the fact that acute disease often presents more subtly, without the outward manifestations typically seen in younger patients. This volume focuses on the unique pathophysiology of the elderly, presenting guidelines for resuscitation, evaluation and management. The first section discusses general principles including demographics, pharmacology and pain management. The following sections cover high-risk chief presenting complaints and review geriatric emergencies. Finally, topics of particular relevance in the geriatric population are discussed, including functional assessment, end-of-life care, financial considerations and abuse. This book provides a comprehensive, practical framework for community and academic emergency medicine practitioners, as well as emergency department administrators striving to improve delivery of care to this vulnerable, growing population.…

Paperback. Condition: Like New. First Edition. In nearly new condition: firm and square with strong joints, no creases. Just a few hardly noticeable rubs. Hence a non-text page shows a small 'damaged' stamp. Despite such this book looks and feels unread. Thus the contents are crisp, fresh and tight. And so a very nice book in great condition, now offered for sale at a reasonable price. …
