3PREFACE
Pediatric emergency is a demanding situation which requires immediate decision-making. Clinical Protocol in Pediatrics is an endeavor towards building up such an interesting field of pediatrics wherein the first few golden moments at presentation to emergency department, a rational, stepwise and correct approach can not only save the child but also reduce the morbidity to a minimal.
Working in a busy emergency is often stressful and tiresome even for a skilled doctor with sound knowledge. Going through textbook and descriptive text may be time-consuming and mind-boggling too. We need at-a-glance format which can be accessed by emergency physicians, emergency fellows, trainees, pediatric postgraduates and even practicing pediatricians. This book focuses on a stepwise approach to common pediatric emergency situations which are presented in a ready-to-use format.
The book deals with ideas which can be practised in any reasonably good hospital set-up. It also covers all emergency situations that can be dealt with both by emergency physicians and pediatricians.
It was an absolute pleasure for us writing this book. We are indebted to our alma mater The Child Trust Hospital, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India, where during our postgraduation, we used to encounter innumerable cases during our long hours in the emergency room. Perhaps, it was the driving force for this venture.
We are also indebted Dr Robyn Brady, Deputy Director, Pediatric Emergency Department, Mater Children's Hospital, Brisbane, Australia, for his impetus and support.
A supportive family is the backbone of any work. We are fortunate to have understanding parents, wives and children.
We express our sincere gratitude to Mr Tarun Duneja (Director-Publishing), Mr Tarun Vij (Director-Pharma), Ms Samina Khan, Mr KK Raman (Production Manager), and their team in New Delhi, India and Mr Sabyasachi Hazra (Kolkata Branch), M/s Jaypee Brothers Medical Publisher Pvt Ltd, New Delhi, India, for their whole-hearted effort and cooperation.
We are open to suggestions and criticisms. Feel free to mail us at drjaydeep_choudhury@yahoo.co.in and sendjayanta@yahoo.com.
