Emergency work is an exciting field for veterinarians. The numerous authors are comprised of a 'who's-who' of the veterinary emergency world. I found this book particularly useful in coverage of common and uncommon scenarios an emergency vet is faced with on a daily basis. Internal medicine topics like acute pancreatitis and acute renal failure are also tackled from a different angle or ICU perspective, compared with 'traditional' internal medicine texts. There is fantastic coverage on respiratory emergencies including ARDS and PTE, cardiovascular disorders, acid-base and electrolyte disturbances, fluid therapy, acute endocrine presentations, in-depth discussion of various intoxicatins seen in emergency practice, neurological disorders (including a chapter on CSF sampling), infectious disorders, haematological disorders, intraabdominal disorders including management of peritonitis and GDV, urogenital disorders and trauma events. Colour plates depicting various emergency procedures such as chest tube placement etc... There are also chapters on hard-to-find topics such as mechanical ventilation, ICU care of post-operative patients, colloid osmotic pressure and osmolality monitoring, blood gas monitoring, intracranial pressure monitoring, capnography, anaesthesia and analgesia of critically ill patients, and an extensive section on drugs commonly used in veterinary emergency and ICU wards. All-in-all, a worthy read and essential text to have on the emergency room shelf. This book has been a long-time coming.
