Essential Procedures for Emergency Urgent and Primary Care Settings: A Clinical Companion-3판

This text is a user-friendly guide to performing 77 clinical procedures, ranging from those commonly performed to
those infrequently called upon when minutes count in emergency, urgent, and primary care settings. This heavily
updated third edition includes current and comprehensive text, graphic, and video instruction on the use of bedside
ultrasound for procedural guidance in order to increase procedural accuracy and mitigate complications. Edited and
written by academically accomplished physicians, physician assistants, and nurse practitioners, an interprofessional
approach to the performance of procedures is highlighted throughout the book.

Procedures are consistently formatted and presented in clear language with step-by-step detail organized by system-
specific categories for easy access to information. Each procedure includes background considerations, indications &
contraindications for performing the procedure, technique for safe and correct performance, special considerations,
complications, post-procedure considerations, and patient education points. Original photos, videos, high quality
sonographic footage, line drawings, and tables reinforce the guidelines and procedures. Abundant "Clinical Pearls"
throughout the manuscript offer practical applications of key information representing years of clinical technical
experience. Extensive references at the end of each chapter further enhance the book's utility
