Synopsis:

"Pediatric Hospital Medicine" is the first book to focus exclusively on the management of pediatric patients in the hospital. This book serves as a resource for residency programs, hospitalist fellowships, and continuing education for physicians whose practice includes the management of hospitalized pediatric patients. Built around the chronological care of patients, the book covers pediatric hospital care from admission to discharge. Because care of the hospitalized pediatric patient is provided by a wide variety of healthcare professionals and in many different hospital settings, this text seeks to provide a framework for unified management and effective and efficient care.

Review: JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 07-JAN-04, Volume 291, Issue 1, L. Barry Seltz, MD, University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ -- "The pediatric hospitalist movement has truly arrived with publication of the first-ever textbook devoted to pediatric inpatient management...Chapters in this first-of-its-kind textbook have some unique features. The text is concise and easy to read, which is nice for the often time-strapped hospitalist. The 'Pearls' at the end of each chapter reiterate key learning points. Tables on etiologies and differential diagnosis enrich numerous discussions. Chapters that provide algorithms are wonderful in aiding clinical thinking... "...This nice-sized textbook [is] a valuable resource. What to do when the lab calls with an elevated potassium level? One can quickly look up the specific therapy for hyperkalemia. How does one write for a polyethylene glycol cleanout? It is all here. Who has wondered about complications and management of gastrostomy tubes? Read all about it. Need to sedate a child for a procedure? The details are provided. A textbook that aids in the care of hospitalized children is a good addition to the personal library."-JAMA
