Comprehensive Pediatric Hospital Medicine

The gold-standard text in pediatric hospital medicine – updated and streamlined

With outstanding reviews from JAMA® and New England Journal of Medicine, Comprehensive Pediatric Hospital Medicine has become the preferred text within this growing specialty. Edited by two of the leading figures in pediatric hospital medicine, the book brings you the most up-to-date, evidence-based approaches to inpatient pediatric care.

Comprehensive Pediatric Hospital Medicine opens with an informative introductory section that defines hospital medicine and addresses general issues of hospitalist practice and administration. The book then moves into commonly presenting signs and symptoms. This is followed by the largest section, a breakdown of diseases by system. The text concludes with a procedures section that provides hard-to-find instruction on procedures most commonly performed on children in a hospital setting.
