Interactive Cases in Emergency Medicine: Learning Through Image Interpretation (Original PDF from Publisher)

by Alice Yearwood (Editor), Dipak Mistry (Editor)

This innovative book is based on real patients seen in the emergency department of a busy London teaching hospital. Developed from a project designed to offer an online alternative to in-person learning during the COVID-19 pandemic, the material will appeal to readers and educators seeking digital content to supplement traditional print-based learning resources. Seventy high-yield cases are illustrated with a variety of static images, including clinical photographs, radiographs and scans, blood films and ECG traces, coupled with integrated imaging videos to enhance understanding. Knowledge is tested via best of three questions, reflecting the format of qualifying examinations, while extensive answers provide further opportunities for learning and revision..

Key Features:

• Challenging real-life cases coupled with imaging videos as well as static images, optimized for mobile viewing
• Scenarios that appeal to both the novice and experienced doctor in the ED and allied specialties
• Comprehensive coverage across a range of speciality areas reflecting the caseload of acute and emergency hospital settings through which doctors in training rotate
• Meets increasing expectations that non-radiologists are required to interpret and act upon imaging results
• Ideal as a revision aid for those in preparation for FRCEM and equivalent international examinations in emergency medicine

Reflecting both common and more complex clinical scenarios, the content will teach and challenge its readers, from the newly qualified resident doctor to more experienced clinicians and allied health personnel working in emergency and acute settings.
