Pediatric Emergencies comprehensively covers the practical management of pediatric emergencies based on organ systems, with a strong emphasis on clinical relevance. Each chapter explores the background, classic clinical presentation, atypical clinical presentation, differential diagnosis, diagnostic confirmation, treatment, clinical algorithm, disposition, complications, and pitfalls of each topic. Clinical pearls included in each chapter can be used at the bedside, and case examples allow readers to compare and contrast pediatric complaints to adult presentations. More clinically focused than a traditional textbook, and more comprehensive than a typical clinical guide, Pediatric Emergencies is an ideal resource for emergency providers of various backgrounds and training, including emergency physicians, emergency medicine residents, pediatric emergency medicine fellows, pediatricians, and other primary care providers who work in urgent care settings.

Reviews
Overall, Pediatric Emergencies: A Practical, Clinical Guide is an excellent on-shift reference for all things pediatric emergency medicine, whether for community attendings who want to brush up on the latest in BRUE management or for educators looking for a visual reference to illustrate their teaching point on interpreting pediatric chest radiographs. It is also a great text for students or trainees who are looking to increase their knowledge by homing in on the most essential aspects of diagnosis and management. I highly recommend Pediatric Emergencies: A Practical, Clinical Guide for emergency physicians and other providers. * Kristy Schwartz MD, MPH, Academic Emergency Medicine *
