Essential Medical Procedures

This highly illustrated step-by-step guide allows the reader to follow through 25 of the most commonly encountered practical procedures. Based on a well-received series that originally appeared in 'Hospital Update', Essential Medical Procedures provides a detailed supplement to practical instruction for HOs, SHOs and newly qualified doctors. From basic obligatory skills such as cardio-pulmonary resuscitation to more sophisticated techniques such as temporary cardiac pacing, Essential Medical Procedures serves as a clear and invaluable guide by discussing indications, aftercare and complications. Particular emphasis is placed on structured explanations of the most common medical procedures, insuring newly qualified doctors have a reliable source to hand. MRCP candidates will find this an invaluable reference for the Viva exams and undergraduates preparing for OSCEs will find this a useful tool for revising procedures.
