This edition has been fully updated to reflect new guidelines and approaches which have impacted the field in recent years. It provides clear, focused information that will aid all areas of patient assessment and management in emergency care. The concise format enables the reader to quickly locate the information needed. The skills section provides a quick summary of the many clinical skills needed in emergency care, ideal as an introduction, or refresher for skills performed infrequently.

Written by practising nurses and subject experts, the Handbook continues to be a unique and invaluable companion for qualified and student nurses, and for all health care professionals working in the emergency care setting, empowering nurses to deliver excellence in emergency care.
