Readership: This handbook will provide junior doctors with the practical and clinical guidance they need to cope with on-call emergencies that may be seen in the resuscitation room, as well as specific ward-based problems that may occur. It will also be of interest to the nursing staff in emergency departments, intensive care units, and critical care outreach teams, and medical students interested in learning more about the practical management of patients.

"...a valuable asset for physicians involved in the care of patients in the resuscitation room, particulary junior Emergency Medicine and Anaesthetic staff. It provides useful information on a wide range of clinical scenarios... The internet is changing the way clinicians search for information; Google has become a common alternative to books and provides the potential for a wealth of information. The web does, however, have the potential to provide unsolicited and unreliable details, where the Oxford Handbook series has a strong reputation to offer reliable and safe advice that is trusted throughout the world." - Dr Jonathan Price, ICU, Southmead Hospital, Bristol
