AWARD-WINNING TITLE Emergency Airway Management
An Evidence-Based Guide
Jonathan Benger
Stephen H. Thomas
United Bristol Healthcare Trust
Harvard Medical School
Jerry Nolan
Royal United Hospital, Bath
Mike Clancy
Southampton University Hospitals Trust There are few situations more challenging and stressful than airway compromise in acutely ill patients. This book describes the principles of emergency airway management outside the operating theatre, systematically leading the reader through the components of successful practice from the principles of oxygen delivery and patient assessment to rapid sequence induction of anaesthesia, tracheal intubation and the difficult and failed emergency airway. Supported by clear diagrams and algorithms, the text includes sections on a range of special circumstances and up-to-date considerations of non-invasive ventilatory support, post-intubation management and commonly used drugs. Compiled by an expert team of physicians from emergency medicine, anaesthesia and critical care, Emergency Airway Management is an invaluable resource for trainee doctors in all acute specialties who may be called upon to manage a patient’s airway in an emergency situation. It is also the official course manual of the UK Training in Emergency Airway Management (TEAM) course.
Nowhere in medicine is there a greater imperative to act than in the recognition and management of a patient’s pain. This practical and evidence-based resource for emergency medicine and acute care providers will guide physicians in the selection of an effective therapy, define appropriate dosages to use and, equally important, when a treatment doesn’t work, explain why, and what to do next.
✔ Provides practical, evidence-based advice on the treatment of pain informed by extensive clinical experience ✔ Covers the huge range of conditions presenting in the emergency room
✔ Clear diagrams and algorithms describe exactly what should be done in managing the airway and summarise the principles of airway management
✔ Includes an invaluable reference table of drug names and interactions
✔ Main messages highlighted in text boxes enable key points to be readily recalled in an emergency situation
2008
✔ Systematic approach to airway management leads the reader from the basics through to more complex and detailed topics in a clear and logical way
‘This book fits in the pockets of theatre clothes. It may be useful for the junior trainee to have to remind themselves of key points before they head off to do an emergency intubation. It also concludes with flow charts, including a failed intubation drill. For the final exam candidate, it contains helpful lists and synopses. … the size and presentation of this publication make it a welcome addition to the training material available for our junior staff.’

Garmel Stanford University School of Medicine, California Now with updated ACLS algorithms An Introduction to Clinical Emergency Medicine is a much-needed resource for individuals practicing in this challenging field. Unlike other textbooks, in which the diagnosis is known, this textbook approaches clinical problems as clinicians approach patients - without full knowledge of the final diagnosis. It provides an understanding of how to approach patients with undifferentiated conditions, ask the right questions, gather historical data, utilize physical examination skills and order and interpret laboratory and radiographic tests. It provides current management and disposition strategies with controversies presented, including pearls and summary points for each topic covered.
