”Akutsjukvård från Ö till Ä” is the first Swedish book on Emergency Medicine. The book is a handbook for emergency physicians and junior doctors doing their internship or rotations in the emergency department. It covers resuscitation of common and rare emergencies in a structured way as well as more common complaints that are taken care of at the emergency department. The book is structured after acuity and the patients chief complaints according to the principle of ABC where the most life-threatening issues are dealt with first. Several practical procedures are also covered. The book includes special chapters on obstetrics/gynaecology, ultrasound, pain relief and procedural sedation, elderly as well as a chapter that deals with patient flow and the logistical challenges of emergency departments.
Well done!!
The book is awesome and both Sussi and Line are such wonderful role models for all emergency medicine residents in Sweden.
An excellent book by two outstanding emergency physicians!!!
