Zaoutis and Chiang`s Comprehensive Pediatric Hospital Medicine, 3rd Edition

This cornerstone text provides the most up-to-date evidence-based approaches to inpatient pediatric care available—all from top experts in their fields 

The gold standard in pediatric hospital medicine, Comprehensive Pediatric Hospital Medicine has been updated and streamlined for today’s practice. This third edition defines hospital medicine and addresses general issues of hospitalist practice and administration, such as medical legal issues, communications, electronic health records, palliative care, ethical issues, careers, professional organizations, and more. 

Clearly organized into four main sections—Inpatient Pediatric Medicine, Commonly Presenting Signs and Symptoms, Systems Approach, and Procedures—Comprehensive Pediatric Hospital Medicine, Third Edition explores commonly presenting signs and symptoms, breaks down diseases by system, and describes hard-to-find instructions on procedures most commonly performed on children in a hospital setting. 

This authoritative work has been fully updated with new content on COVID-19 illness and vaccines in pediatric patients, pandemic preparedness and resources, as well as pediatric patient mental and behavioral health. 

If you’re in need of an up-to-date, comprehensive, and authoritative text that spans the emerging field of pediatric hospital medicine, your search ends here.
