## Description

Avoiding Common Errors in the Emergency Department: 9781496320742: Medicine & Health Science Books @ desertcart.com

Review: Great book for anyone who practices in an ED setting, very readable with brief chapters and great content - This is the second edition of a book that I originally found in medical school, which I've read through a couple times and found very useful. The revised edition is significantly expanded compared the original, with almost a complete rewrite of the content. There are 365 unique, short chapters focusing on "common errors" in the management of emergent conditions -- I liked this book a lot because of the focus on high risk diagnoses or chief complaints in the error-prone, high decision density environment of the ED. While many of the topics are things that will be familiar to most clinicians, it never hurts to be reminded of an approach to troubleshooting post-intubation hypotension, or of the risk for abdominal compartment syndrome (though not typically an ED diagnosis) alongside instructions for how to measure abdominal compartment pressure. There are sections on things like cardiology, e.g. "Know the Mimics of Ventricular Tachycardia" and also critical care, with a great chapter on "How to Care for the ICU Boarder in Your ED" by none other than Josh Farkas who writes the PulmCrit blog I like so much. There are sections on upcommon presentations and pitfalls therein, such as "Normal Diagnostic Studies Do Not Rule Out Shunt Malfunction" and more medico-legal focused (clinical medicine is the overarching focus of the book, but I found this helpful) and clinical practice ares such as crowding, consultant communication / documentation and how to handle a deposition request. All in all, very readable, brief chapters that you could very easily read one of every day and learn something new, and well-written by authors respected in their fields. A bargain, and comes with an eBook that you can use as a reference on shift.
Review: Great Read & Reference for any Medical Provider - Excellent book for review and reference for anyone practicing medicine, whether in primary care, urgent care, or the ER. It’s a good read, and the short, to the point synopsis of why you should do, and why you should do it to prevent malpractice and to have good patient outcomes is straight & to the point. I am glad I purchased it, not only for myself, but also for the other NP’s to use in our rural ER.
