Pocket Emergency Medicine contains the essential information that residents and medical students in the emergency department need to have at their fingertips. Major sections cover symptoms and diseases of each organ system as well as infectious diseases, environmental exposures, hematology and oncology, pediatric emergencies, the psychiatric patient, toxicology, airway management, and trauma.
Information is presented in concise, rapid-access format, with easy-to-scan bulleted lists and tables. Chapters follow a standard structure—differential diagnosis, history, classic findings, critical studies, ED interventions, pearls, and references. The six-ring binder can accommodate the student's or resident's own notes.
New topics covered in this edition include bioterrorism, distraction injuries, and indications for bedside emergency ultrasound. A special considerations section has been added to each chapter. Other new features include an acronym table, an introductory differential diagnosis table boxed for quick access, and an updated appendix with ACLS/PALS protocols, ICU medications, antibiotics, and formulas.
Please be advised of a correction to the Index. The listing for “Pulmonary Embolism and Deep Vein Thrombosis” currently lists 11-13, but it should be listed as 1-11, indicating the section number not the page number range.

This guide (Pocket Emergency Medicine 2nd edition) does not include as many references as the famous Pocket Medicine 4th edition, but as a fourth-year medical student interested in pursuing a career in academic emergency medicine, I'm impressed by its breadth and detail. It describes workups and differential diagnoses by presenting complaint, but each condition is indexed, so if you have a patient with a specific disease process (von Willebrand's Disease or nephrolithiasis, for example), you can find the disease in the index and then see the specific workup, management, and suggested disposition for that patient. Describes ED-specific management (eg., what to do in the initial hour of presentation) more than longitudinal management (Pocket Medicine is better for longitudinal management). Covers a huge number of complaints/conditions (it's slightly thicker than Pocket Medicine 4th edition) and contains a short section about various procedures (paracentesis, tube thoracostomy, central line placement, I&D, etc.) that are helpful refreshers. There are many citations, but more would be appreciated.
To clarify Pocket Medicine vs. Pocket Emergency Medicine, Pocket Medicine is not as easy to use in the ER because it's divided by diagnosis rather than by presenting symptoms. Many patients are undifferentiated in the ER, so it's more important to know how to work them up, and Pocket Emergency Medicine is much easier to use for undifferentiated patients because it's organized by symptoms rather than diagnoses.
Overall, not quite as polished as Pocket Medicine 4th edition (there are a few typos and abbreviations that aren't defined), but better than Pocket Medicine for the emergency department workup and management of patients.
