Kursbuch Notfallmedizin

With this course book on emergency medicine, based on the model course book of the Federal Medical Association, experienced authors have created a guide for aspiring emergency physicians that covers all important aspects of this responsible field of work. The first main part presents fundamental questions such as general tactical approaches at the scene, basic diagnostics, basic therapy and monitoring, emergency medications and routes of administration, airway management, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, as well as analgesia, sedation, and anesthesia, alongside historical, legal, forensic, and ethical aspects. Following this, specific emergency medical issues such as shock and shock management, ECG interpretation, cardiac and respiratory emergencies, as well as relevant emergencies from other specialties ranging from traumatology to pediatrics and psychiatry are addressed. Special chapters focus on water accidents, intoxications, and drug emergencies, as well as hygiene in emergency services and infection transports. Subsequently, specific organizational aspects such as air rescue and secondary transport, coordination of medical and technical rescue, and mass casualty incidents are presented. The table of contents for an emergency kit is also included. The overview is facilitated by a clear and memorable structure, along with numerous graphics and illustrations. Key statements and practical tips are highlighted graphically.
