    • Maurice Raphaël + 1 more
    • French
    Sur des problématiques rencontrées par les praticiens dans leur exercice quotidien, la collection « Elsevier Pratique » apporte des réponses cliniques précises, rapidement accessibles. Ces ouvrages sont conçus pour être une aide à la pratique clinique. Aux urgences, le médecin se retrouve fréquemment face à l’imprévisible : symptômes flous, données incomplètes, pression du temps, patients inquiets, flux incessant. Dans ce contexte, le raisonnement clinique n’est pas un luxe intellectuel, mais un outil capital qui permet de guider le praticien dans les décisions à prendre ou à ne pas prendre.Raisonner vite, mais bien. Le défi principal est d’identifier la gravité avant la probabilité, pour éviter de manquer l’urgence vitale, sans céder à la tentation de multiplier les examens inutiles qui engorgent les services. C’est aussi maîtriser les circuits courts, ces raccourcis cognitifs qui parfois nous égarent de bonne foi. Tel est l’équilibre délicat que ce livre propose d’explorer.Fruit de réflexions, d’expériences et de regards croisés, cet ouvrage ne se contente pas d’énoncer des algorithmes. Il met en lumière les mécanismes de pensée, les biais cognitifs qui menacent la clarté du jugement, et les stratégies qui permettent de sécuriser l’action. Il rappelle que raisonner, c’est protéger : protéger le patient de l’erreur diagnostique, protéger le système des sur-prescriptions, protéger le clinicien du chaos cognitif.Ce livre s’adresse à tous les médecins d’urgence, débutants comme confirmés, qui veulent affiner leur art de décider sous contrainte. Ni manuel figé, ni recette miracle, il se veut une invitation à cultiver un raisonnement clinique rigoureux, adaptable et lucide : une compétence essentielle pour transformer l’incertitude en action juste et pertinente.
