Emergency Physiotherapy: On Call Survival Guide (Physiotherapy Pocketbooks)

By Beverly Harden and Beverley Harden MSc BSc(Hons) MCSP

A solution-oriented synopsis of the majority of issues faced in the on call setting, i.e. communication, assessment of the patient, problem identification and treatment. On call physio situations are usually respiratory but may arise in any type of unit. All these are addressed as well as the other commonest scenarios. Text is presented as lists and bullet points as much as possible, with 50% of the book presenting information in charts, algoriths or diagrams. It is designed to fit with the UK National assessment tool and Phase 2 of this is a national teaching programme to be launched in 2002.

This book is expected to become a standard text for that course but it also stands alone as a useful text for physios everywhere in its own right. Pocket sized with a flexicover, it is designed for quick and easy on the job reference.Information meets a current anxiety among all physiotherapists.Its list and table format makes it easy to use and refer to in an emergency.Material addresses all emergency situations a physiotherapist is likely to have to deal with, as well as less common issues.Text is edited by the leader of the UK national review of the subject (supported by the CSP).Specialist contributions from the leaders in their clinical areas lend credibility to the book.Facts and easy-to-access information make it perfect for quick review.
