rcdavis Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 roberts and hedges "clinical procedures in emergency medicine" , hands down the bomb.. virtually step by step for every procedure done in ed. as I am now more electronic than text, this book is the only book that i still use. UpToDate man, UpToDate. else emed's recommendations are spot on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxbowiexx Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Amazon has the Clinical Procedures for Emergency Medicine for $65 used, but it's the 2003 edition. The new one is $150....will the 2003 edition sufficient or would u recommend getting the new one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medic25 Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 +1 on Roberts and Hedges; it's a fantastic reference. It's also available on MDConsult if you or your hospital subscribe to that site. I'd also suggest picking up an emergency ultrasound textbook if you'll be making a lot of use of ultrasound in your ED. It's a fantastic tool, and you would be doing yourself a big favor by getting familiar with at least the basic studies (FAST, OB, RUQ, vascular access, etc).

rcdavis Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 go used. basics are basics. agree with med/25: get you an ultrasound course.. learn how to do many of the invasive procedures under u/s guidance. I do not use it, but many of the new programs teach it and a lot of hospitals and proceduralists are making it (u/s guidance) the "standard" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator EMEDPA Posted June 1, 2011 Moderator Share Posted June 1, 2011 re: u/s, I still am not using it much but know that I need to improve my skills so will be taking an em u/s course in the next yr or 2. we have a portable sonosite unit when I go to Haiti which I use for mostly ob stuff ( is there an obvious IUP?, what is the position of the baby in a third trimester pt?, etc), and to eval for aortic aneurysm( is the aorta wider than the vertebral bodies?). have also used u/s to look at extremity fxs as we don't have xray in Haiti. actually works pretty well for this. I work with a pa who used to be an u/s tech. great skill to have.he does his own fast, gb's, vascular access, etc. we work on base pay + production and he has the highest production in the group due to the # of u/s guided procedures he can do(like u/s guided deep abscess drainage, etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
physetermacro Posted June 1, 2011 Author Share Posted June 1, 2011 Thanks so much, all. I'm a newbie to the group, and hands-down it is the best resource for PAs out there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

browndog Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 I live with Epocrates and Rosen's 5-Minute Emergency Medicine Consult on my Blackberry. Tarascon in my pocket. Baby Tintinalli and Splinters to Fractures in my backpack. And, yes, UpToDate running in the background on my computer in the ER. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mukisa Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 What sets Tintinalli apart from Rosen's the 2 volume and others like Harwood and Nuss? I have online access to Tint and Rosen's only glanced and H&N. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcdavis Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 Rosens is the bible.. Peter Rosen single handedly created academic emergency medicine at Colorado. Judith tintinelli figured out that letting her senior residents research and write slightly more practical chapters without as much esoterica as Rosen would do a couple things.. Make her book famous for being essentially cliff notes to rosens ( now principally edited by John Marx at Carolina medical center!) .. And make her a defacto expert in Ed medicine based entirely on the research and work of her residents. Tintinelli is an easier book to tote than rosens, just as baby tintinelli is easier yet. In short, rosens is the gold stand, which explains the solid pathophysiology and detailsv"why" things are done. Tintinelli is the crib notes. You pass the resident quizzes with tintinelli. You pass the EM Boards with rosens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator EMEDPA Posted June 10, 2011 Moderator Share Posted June 10, 2011 Ha!! He sat at the foot of god! (small g for you fellow baptists) he considers himself a "sell out" because he was the only one who went to work right away in em and didn't become an em residency director. when he moved to my state he was the only em residency trained doc in the state. he started an em group that is widely considered "THE place to work" in our state for em docs.

SRCumpston Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 I'm starting a new EM job in just over a month. I was hoping to get a good reference book to have at home to study from. Is this the Tintinalli's you all are recommending? http://www.amazon.com/Tintinallis-Emergency-Medicine-Comprehensive-Tintinalli/dp/0071484809/ref=wl_it_dp_o_npd?ie=UTF8&coliid=I15NH3NQZ4DLE9&colid=37ZW66YG16AI8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
