Emergency
medicine is a medical specialty that equips physicians with the knowledge and
skills required to care for patients with very urgent healthcare needs.

injured patients of all ages. They also work outside the emergency department,
in clinics and community health centres, for aeromedical organisations and in
developing countries around the world.
Advances in Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation is a reference book to assist
doctors and other health professionals with patients presenting with acute
problems. The book provides the most uptodate coverage of treatment and
management in acute medical care including resuscitation, diagnosis,
investigations, treatment and further care. This book contains essential
information and provides a quick reference tool for emergency physicians,
hospital residents, paramedics, ambulance officers, nurses and general
practitioners, as well as students of these disciplines.
