Klappentext

Structured rapid-access paediatric reference covering medical and surgical conditions

Now in its Third Edition, Rapid Paediatric delivers a concise, systems-based overview of paediatric medicine and surgery. Written by a team of experienced paediatric clinicians both medical and surgical, this updated edition covers major medical and surgical topics using a consistent structured format: definitions, aetiology, associations and risk factors, epidemiology, history, examination, pathophysiology, investigations, management, complications, prognosis, and prevention.

Appendices provide rapid-reference algorithms for emergencies including status epilepticus, cardiac arrhythmias, trauma, and shock. The text incorporates contemporary guidelines, emerging therapies, and evidence-based practices throughout each clinical topic.

The book also includes:

• Coverage of neonatal assessment, resuscitation, feeding, and immunisation through to conditions in gastroenterology, respiratory medicine, neurology, endocrinology, cardiology, nephrology, infectious diseases, and paediatric surgery
• Age-specific history taking and developmental evaluation frameworks supporting systematic clinical assessment of paediatric patients across all stages
• Family-centred care principles integrated throughout, reflecting current multidisciplinary approaches to paediatric and paediatric surgical practice
• Paediatric resuscitation protocols and emergency algorithms designed for rapid access during acute clinical decision-making in time-critical situations
• Structured condition summaries enabling efficient revision from medical school examinations through to fellowship-level specialty training assessments
• Coverage of both congenital and acquired surgical conditions alongside medical topics, providing unified reference across paediatric disciplines

Designed for medical students, junior doctors, and paediatric or paediatric surgical trainees who need structured clinical knowledge for practice and examination preparation, this text also serves practising paediatricians, surgeons, emergency physicians, and allied health professionals as a rapid-access refresher for managing paediatric presentations.
