Kyle is a 7-month-old boy who presents to the emergency department (ED) of a district general hospital in a coma. He has been somewhat lethargic in the past few days, has vomited several times, and has gradually gotten worse. His parents could not rouse him and brought him straight to the ED. There is no past medical history of note and no diseases run in the family. You have been asked to assess him.
100 Cases in Paediatrics presents 100 scenarios commonly seen in children by medical students and junior doctors in hospital and community settings. A succinct summary of the patient's history, examination and any initial investigations is followed by questions on the diagnosis and management of each case. The answer includes a detailed discussion on each topic, providing an essential revision aid as well as a practical guide for students and resident doctors.
Making speedy and appropriate clinical decisions, and choosing the best course of action to take as a result, is one of the most important and challenging parts of training to become a doctor. These true-to-life cases will teach students and residents to recognize important medical conditions in children, and to develop their diagnostic and management skills.
Key features:
· Succinct case studies presented in an easy-to-read format, including patient history, examination and investigations
· Questions at the end of each case prompt readers to consider their options for diagnosis, investigation and management
· Answer pages then guide readers through the clinician's sequence of thoughts and actions
· Illustrations, information boxes and key points summaries reinforce learning, ideal during exam revision
· A broad range of common paediatric conditions is included, from acute abdominal pain to urinary tract infection, together with more unusual examples and cases covering the neonate, child and adolescent
