Synopsis

This essential handbook provides a practical, accessible guide to emergency situations encountered in palliative care practice. Using a system of icons, and structured around frequently encountered symptoms, it is split into two sections. The first section explores how patients with life-limiting illnesses such as cancer, AIDS, and end-stage organ failure normally present, and looks at the reversibility of their condition. The second section provides a detailed approach to specific clinical conditions, and is for use once the clinical diagnosis has been reached on the basis of the presenting symptoms. The book will provide trainees in palliative medicine, nurses, family doctors, and other allied health professionals with a pocket guide to the emergency care of people requiring palliative and supportive care, and will complement the Oxford Handbook of Palliative Care.

Its small format and resilient soft plastic cover make it easy to carry around and many clinicians will feel empowered to be able to quickly refer to it when face with an emergency which could be life-threatening. ...this book will be invaluable to clinicians. (Oncology News)

This little pocket-sized book provides a guide through the maze...[and] will be very useful for nurses and junior medical staff as a quick reference in their day-to-day work in palliative care. (Roger Woodruff, Director of Palliative Care, Austin Health, Melbourne, Australia)
