kellig21 Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Hey everyone, I am soon to be a new graduate who will be working FT in EM starting this October. Already have a few EM books but was wondering if anyone had any resource books that they highly recommend, (either pocket ones or larger ones) to prepare. Thank you!

Boatswain2PA Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 WikiEM (free), uptodate (buy while still a student), or Pepid. Become member of SEMPA, come Jan you will get ACEP magazines as well. What type of place will you be working? What will be your scope?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kellig21 Posted August 2, 2013 Author Share Posted August 2, 2013 Thank you. It's at a well known teaching hospital where i'll be working in all areas of the ED (from high acuity to lower acuity to fast track) as well as seeing pediatric patients. They will teach me how to intubate, do LPs, and central lines, which is definitely a great plus but will require a lot of studying on my part. I am a member of SEMPA but didn't know about the ACEP resource. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

medic25 Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Roberts and Hedges for procedures is outstanding; it covers almost any procedure you'll do in the ED. I like Tintanelli's for a general EM reference book, but Rosen's is also good. I'll second the votes for PEPID and WikEM; ERres is a good, cheap app, and Sonosite has a great free app that demonstrates most of the standard ED ultrasounds.

jwells78 Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 I find that I use these most: EMRA guide (Awesome, awesome, awesome... get the book, not the app), Tarascon (staple), and Pepid on the iphone. Pepid is pricey, but has a good drug guide, great patho/dz section and thorough resus/acute care/lab info. We use to have uptodate at work but I guess they upped their prices and we dropped it... sad panda face on that one. Welcome to EM! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
