  • Urgences pédiatriques

    • 5th Edition
    • Gérard Chéron
    • French
    Cette 5e édition d’Urgences pédiatriques est destinée à tous ceux, pédiatres et généralistes, en centre de santé, cabinet libéral, service mobile pré-hospitalier ou service d’urgences, qui accueillent à l’improviste enfants et familles. Une première partie consacrée aux symptômes vous aidera à construire une démarche diagnostique, à formuler des hypothèses. La seconde partie aborde, au sein de chaque spécialité, les pathologies qu’il faut prendre en charge rapidement en raison d’un risque pronostique et/ou pour savoir rassurer. Cet exercice des consultations non programmées tient en premier lieu à un examen clinique, à des capacités pour écouter, regarder et voir, communiquer pour comprendre. Les examens complémentaires seront ordonnés pour chaque situation, choisis pour leur potentiel à lever les hésitations. Urgences pédiatriques aide le clinicien à choisir le moment des éventuelles explorations complémentaires, tout ne relevant pas de l’urgence, tout par conséquent ne devant pas – ne pouvant pas – être réalisé sans délai. L’intérêt de l’enfant ne réside pas toujours dans l’immédiateté, la réflexion prime sur le seul réflexe. Le discours avec l’enfant et ses parents, le temps nécessaire à l’échange, l’évaluation, l’observation sont souvent les plus importants des moyens d’exploration. Il faut accorder aux familles ce temps de répit en UHCD, donner aux équipes le temps d’apprendre, injonction paradoxale dans un service d’urgence dont la fonction est de savoir décider pour éviter l’attente. Tous les collaborateurs de cet ouvrage ont partagé leur savoir, leurs expériences, et exposé leur manière pragmatique d’avancer, d’aider, de comprendre, de soulager. Un complément en ligne comprenant une centaine d’illustrations supplémentaires vient enrichir cette édition.
