The management of acute medical emergencies is the most demanding and stressful aspect of medical training. Most textbooks of medicine can only go into general detail about the management of medical emergencies, and it is difficult for the practising doctor to keep up-to-date with the latest guidelines while doing a busy clinical job.
The Oxford Handbook of Acute Medicine is an up-to-date, practical and comprehensive guide to the management of the acutely ill patient. The book relates pathophysiology to clinical features to help the reader make the diagnosis quickly. It identifies priorities for treatment and leads the reader, step-by-step, through the management of the
patient while awaiting specialist help. Wherever possible, published guidelines have been incorporated to ensure that the book reflects current, recommended management of medical emergencies, with evidence-based treatments. Details of specialist treatments are included to inform readers about the patient's likely ongoing care.
The layout of the book reflects clinical practice: topics are divided into assessment, differential diagnosis, immediate management and ongoing treatment. There is an extensive section on practical procedures. It is the ideal companion for students (keen to understand the management of patients they see during their training), practising physicians at all levels from recently qualified doctors to consultants (to brush upon the modern
management of acute medical conditions), staff in A&E who see acutely ill patients daily, and nurses caring for acutely ill patients.
Readership: Junior doctors (PRHOs; SHOs in the UK); general physicians, A & E staff; anaesthetists; general practitioners; nurses; senior medical students

"The book's text is, in 2 words, organized and concise." - JAMA, Vol 298, No. 14, "This book (which is also available for your PDA) is a no-nonsense guide to acute presentations and guides you succinctly through the presentation of, causes of and (most importantly) a stepwise plan of action for common acute scenarios." - Medic World "The Oxford Handbook of Acute Medicine is a good introduction about the day-to-day issues of hospital-based medicine. It is thorough, well-written, timely, and suited for budding physicians and those at the beginning of their careers. this will be a book about practicalities. It is not intended to be a dusty tome that one consults when one has the luxury of time. Rather,
they intend for it to become dog-eared from frequent use." - Respiratory Care, Vol 50, No 9 "This pocket-sized book contains an absolute wealth of information on acute medical problems and is very comprehensive in the breadth of its coverage." - Hospital Doctor "The Oxford Handbook series have done it again, another great book to add to this ever growing collection . . . I would have thought junior medical staff would benefit most from this book but GPs and their registrars would also appreciate some of the wisdom. Even more senior medical staff would also want to own a copy and best of all is the price. This book truly represents superb value for money and even if this book gets a bit dog eared after a few months use, or worse gets
lost or pinched (surely not), it will not break the bank to get another one . . . Certainly this book ranks up there with a BNF, a stethoscope, and a bleep that junior medical staff need to go about their daily duties. As for other practitioners both hospital and non hospital based, this is also a very useful book to keep them up to date with what goes on in acute medicine." - Dr Harry Brown on the Univadis website
