tailieunhanh - Pocket Emergency Paediatric Care

This book is designed to fit into a handbag or shirt pocket. It contains material which is usually required in a hurry when treating a critically ill or injured infant or child. In addition to information relevant to emergency care, there are what we hope will be useful pages of data on subjects which without a photographic memory would normally require reference to a paediatric text book. Examples include a weight for height chart, normal values for common biochemical tests, normal developmental profiles and normal ECG measurements | Pocket Emergency Paediatric Care Shafique Ahmad and David Southall BMJ Books Pocket Emergency Paediatric Care Contents Preface vii Acknowledgements ix UNCRC standards xi Section 1 Life-threatening emergencies Essential knowledge 3 Triage 7 Resuscitation at birth 9 Paediatric life support 11 Recognition of the sick child 16 The shocked child 22 The unconscious child 26 Allergic reactions and anaphylactic shock 35 Status epilepticus 37 Poisoning 39 Section 2 Neonatal emergencies 47 Fluid and electrolyte balance in the ill neonate 49 Hypoglycaemia in the neonate 51 Hypoglycaemia in the ill neonate 52 Jaundice in the ill neonate 54 Respiratory problems in the neonate 57 Neonatal infections 59 Neonatal seizures 62 Neonatal hypoxic ischaemic encephalopathy HIE 64 Section 3 Specific emergencies 65 Respiratory and cardiovascular 67 Gastrointestinal liver renal 75 Neurological .
