The 5-Minute Pediatric Consult (The 5-Minute Consult Series)

The thoroughly updated Fifth Edition of this best-selling reference provides immediate, practical advice on problems seen in infants, children, and adolescents. More than 460 chief complaints and diseases are covered in the fast-access two-page outline format that makes The 5-Minute Consult Series titles so popular among busy clinicians. Other features include a medication index, syndromes glossary, surgical glossary, laboratory values, and tables.

The Fifth Edition has new emergency department material including ingestion of caustics, opioids, and "ecstasy-type" drugs. New material on childhood obesity, metabolic syndrome, and probiotics is also included.

A brand-new companion Website offers the fully searchable online text, plus selected full-color clinical photographs from Chung/Boom/Datto/Matz, Visual Diagnosis in Pediatrics.
