Failing to recognize the initial presentation of pulmonary hypertension can result in a life-threatening delay in the initiation of specific therapies.
An Evidence-Based Approach To Severe Traumatic Brain Injury In Children - $30.00 Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is the leading cause of mortality and severe morbidity in children. Emergency medicine clinicians are the first line hospital responders for children with severe traumatic brain injury. It is integral that clinicians recognize the signs and symptoms of severe pediatric TBI, initiate appropriate interventions, and activate the necessary specialty services in a timely manner.

Pediatric And Adolescent Chest Pain - $30.00 The skilled emergency clinician will not dismiss the complaint of chest pain because of the impression that it is rarely serious. While it is true that most children complaining of chest pain do not have a life-threatening condition, there are notable exceptions.
