Main description:

The all-new Succinct Pediatrics takes a very direct and practical approach to the concerns paediatricians face on a daily basis. It features a heavy focus on the evaluation and management process of pediatric care, and the process by which physicians come to the various clinical decisions they make. This attention on medical decision-making as well as featured 'Levels of Evidence' which rate the various treatment courses, further integrates the practice of evidence-based medicine into daily care.

Intended for paediatricians, family doctors, and pediatric nurses, the contents include:

* Common Problems in General Pediatric Practice: abdominal pain; asthma; ADHD; back pain; breastfeeding; chest pain; colic; diarrhoea; dysuria; ear pain; eye problems; fever; fluids and electrolytes; gastrointestinal bleeding; immunisations and vaccinations; joint and extremity pain; nutrition; rashes; and much more.

* Critical Care and Emergencies: acute bleeding; anaphylaxis, uriticaria, and angioedema; animal bites; burns and thermal injury; child maltreatment; diabetic ketoacidosis; drowning; electrical injury; epistaxis; heart failure; infantile botulism; malignant hyperthermia; pleural effusion; poisoning; respiratory distress and apnoea; rhabdomyolysis; sepsis; shock; trauma care and assessment of injury; and traumatic brain injury.
