Pocket Emergency Medicine

Pocket Emergency Medicine, 5th Edition, is a bedside reference edited by Richard D. Zane and Joshua M. Kosowsky for clinicians caring for patients in acute, life-threatening situations. A volume in the Pocket Notebook series published by Wolters Kluwer Health, the book organizes clinical material by presenting condition to assist everyday diagnostic decision making.

The text addresses core emergency conditions across cardiovascular, neurologic, infectious, and trauma presentations. Readers will find practical guidance on evaluations such as rapid sequence intubation, acute coronary syndrome workups, and the initial trauma survey.

Designed as a loose-leaf reference, the volume also features an appendix covering mechanical ventilation, pediatric advanced life support, and intensive care unit medications.
