About this book

The Atlas of Emergency Medicine 5th edition by Kevin J. Knoop, Lawrence B. Stack, Alan B. Storrow, and R. Jason Thurman is a visual clinical reference designed to help healthcare professionals recognize and manage acute conditions encountered in emergency care. The atlas uses extensive clinical photographs, radiographic images, ultrasound findings, ECGs, microscopic images, and concise explanatory text to strengthen visual diagnosis and treatment decisions.

The 5th edition covers head and facial trauma, ophthalmic conditions, fundoscopic findings, ear, nose, and throat disorders, oral conditions, chest and abdominal presentations, urologic disease, sexually transmitted infections, gynecologic and obstetric emergencies, extremity trauma, dermatologic conditions, pediatric emergencies, toxicology, wounds, environmental illness, airway problems, ECG abnormalities, emergency ultrasound, tropical medicine, and forensic findings.

This atlas is intended primarily for emergency medicine physicians, residents, medical students, nurses, prehospital clinicians, and other professionals providing acute care. Its emphasis on image recognition makes it especially useful for bedside reference, emergency medicine education, board examination review, and preparation for clinical situations in which visual findings help establish a diagnosis rapidly.

Emergency medicine residents, physicians, nurses, medical students, and other acute care professionals can use this 2021 edition to identify characteristic clinical findings, compare visual presentations, review emergency diagnoses, and reinforce management principles. The complete 5th edition is available as a searchable PDF enhanced digital version with instant access for clinical reference, residency education, board preparation, and emergency medicine study.
