Stedman's Emergency Medicine Words is a key resource for busy medical transcriptionists, medical language specialists, medical coders, and students who must have the most comprehensive, up-to-date, and authoritative reference of common emergency medicine terminology, including trauma and critical care. This new title covers areas such as procedures/treatments, equipment, and terminology found in the emergency medicine setting regarding such topics as heart attacks, strokes, respiratory emergencies, and head trauma. Valuable appendices include sample reports, illustrations, a table of sutures and fractures, as well as much-needed medical abbreviation and slang appendices.
