The gold-standard in emergency medicine!
It was emergency medicine's first comprehensive text, and now in its sixth generation, it's still the best! It set the standard for excellence in learning, and it still provides what you need today to meet your lifelong learning goals and update your knowledge.
The Tintinalli Study Guide is the bible of emergency medicine reference! It covers the gamut of emergency medicine practice in brief, clinically focused chapters. New to this edition are chapters on bioterrorism and weapons of mass destruction, pharmacology of antimicrobials, antimicrobials, antifungals, and antivirals, principles of drug interactions, endocarditis, and abdominal and pelvic pain in the non-pregnant patient. Pharmacologic considerations, tables of vital differential diagnoses, and observation criteria throughout are new features reflecting developments in the dynamic specialty of emergency medicine.
