E-raamat: Head, Neck and Dental Emergencies [Oxford Medicine Online e-raamatud]

Head, neck, and dental emergencies provides the reader with a working approach to the diagnosis and management of patients in casualty. The book covers how to diagnose and manage all urgent or emergent problems that occur above the collar bones. Emergency care must be simple and quick so this book comprises short notes, diagrams, and photographs, with an emphasis on establishing the diagnosis while maintaining a high index of suspicion. Where possible, the book covers one topic per one to three pages and uses a system of four icons to allow rapid identification of the degree of urgency of each condition presented.
Aimed primarily at undergraduate dentistry students, this book will also be relevant for junior doctors and nurses in accident and emergency medicine, maxillofacial surgery, ENT, ophthalmology, anaesthetics, and plastic surgery.
