diatrics Recall provides information in a concise question-and-answer format, which allows easy access to material that is essential for medical students
during their third-year clinical clerkships in pediatrics. The book covers basic
issues in neonatal and pediatric fluid management, blood products, nutrition,
emergencies, growth, and intensive care. In addition, an entire chapter is
devoted to issues relating to the adolescent patient. Disease entities are
organized into chapters according to the systems involved. Descriptions of
the individual diseases include signs, symptoms, essentials of pathophysiology,
treatments, and possible outcomes. Students may use the question-andanswer format to work through each condition from presentation and diagnosis to therapy and outcome.
Pediatrics Recall is not intended to be used as a primary text. Rather, it
allows students to review essential information in an efficient format that is
designed to facilitate retention.
Changes in the fourth edition of Pediatrics Recall include added disease
entities as well as new terminology, techniques, and insights that have evolved
in the field of pediatrics since the third edition was published. It also reflects
input from students, residents, community physicians, and pediatric generalists
and specialists in both the primary writing and review of the text. We hope that
this book is useful to you and we welcome your suggestions
