on pediatric emergency care in the highly practical question-and-answer format of The Secrets Series®. Each chapter covers an important
topic by asking key questions and providing helpful answers. This second edition again features six sections: the first addresses life
threatening conditions and immediate stabilization of children, followed by a section on common chief complaints that are often managed
in the Emergency Department. Subsequent sections focus on important medical emergencies, surgical emergencies, major and minor trauma
and environmental emergencies.
