“utiṣṭhata | jāgrata | prāpya varānnibodhata |
Arise. Awake. And stop not till the goal is reached.”
— Swami Vivekananda
We have a passion for improving patient care. Emergency care is all about dealing emergencies in time-bound manner and the emergency department is a place where emergency physician manages most diverse acute conditions in the hospital. On the basis of the typical clinical clues’ emergency physician can use accurate diagnostic tools, treatment pathways, and prognostic prediction. The practice of “emergency medicine” continues to evolve, bringing greater expectations of the physicians who provide field care in interhospital shifting by ambulance and medical oversight. The advent of postgraduation program in “emergency medicine”, and the continuous broadening of the clinical practice of “emergency medicine” has made the formal study of the art and practice even more essential than ever before. Now we have to show our never-ending commitment to improve patient care across the entire scope of our practice as emergency physicians. The emergency physicians acquiring their knowledge and skills very rapidly to improve the patient care and show their worthiness. We have achieved many milestones along the road of development of the emergency medicine specialty. Our journey starts with Textbook of Emergency and Trauma Care, 1st edition with superb mentors who instilled in us a drive to become excellent clinicians and educators. Now, 2nd edition is updated with “250 Chapters in 22 Sections”, extremely useful for emergency physicians, intensivists, family physicians, general practitioners, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants, where clinical clues significantly guide, improve, and expedite diagnosis as well as treatment. It is our most sincere hope that this text serves you well on your journey, wherever the practice of “emergency medicine” may take you.
We thank contributors and readers who have helped to make this 2nd edition possible.
No star is too distant to approach
No mountain too high to climb
No dream is too far to make reality
No quest too difficult to fulfil
No goal is too impossible to achieve
For those who have courage to try several times
So, meet the life challanges with determination
Each time each hour each day
To come out winning honest rewards!!
