Publisher's Synopsis
Pediatric Hospital Medicine is the first book to focus exclusively on the management of pediatric patients in the hospital. This book serves as a resource for residency programs, hospitalist fellowships, and continuing education for physicians whose practice includes the management of hospitalized pediatric patients. Built around the chronological care of patients, the book covers pediatric hospital care from admission to discharge. Because care of the hospitalized pediatric patient is provided by a wide variety of healthcare professionals and in many different hospital settings, this text seeks to provide a framework for unified management and effective and efficient care.
