Video demonstrations are the most comprehensive way to learn procedures and contain information that cannot be mastered using photograph format. Videos on Urgent Procedures in Medical Practice presents 50 procedural skills demonstrated on partial task trainers, full body simulators, cadavers and/or on real patients in real clinical scenarios. This comprehensive video atlas contains high‒yield information on core procedures in family medicine, internal medicine, emergency medicine, surgery and obstetrics and gynecology. In our videos, 20 experienced clinicians and experts in different disciplines use clinical simulation to guide medical students, nursing students, physicians in training, junior doctors and nurses through most common procedures in clinical practice. All the videos include learning objectives, indications, contraindications, universal precautions, complications, basic equipment and step-by step guide how to prepare and execute the procedure.
In clinical practice often there is not enough time to read an article, chapter or look through a large reference when there is a patient who requires an immediate response. The accompanying book serves as a quick guide for 50 procedural skills every physician in training and practicing physician should know. Chapters featuring procedural skills provide a concise review of the procedures and include 5 multiple choice questions and answers to test the learner's knowledge. List of relevant literature sources is provided at the end of each chapter.
Combining the instructional videos and book in a practical manner allows the use of this procedure guide at the point of care as a great resource for keeping all the information at learners’ fingertips. Good luck in your practice!
