From the simple to the complex, this visually stunning atlas guides you through more than 100 commonly performed emergency procedures in step-by-step detail. Each procedure includes a brief discussion of its indications, contraindications, equipment requirements, and complications and their management.

Alternative techniques are offered throughout, providing the reader with a variety of options for a particular procedure.
Features
- Step-by-step text is on the page opposite the technique illustrations for ease of reference.
- Details for each procedure include preparation and draping, anesthesia or sedation, performance of the procedure, and disposition.
- Detailed line drawings are based on observation of procedures, drawn from the perspective of the physician.
- Variations between field management vs. ED management are addressed throughout: e.g., defibrillation in the ED vs. defibrillation in wet environment such as rain or a near-drowning.
