CMC Vellore Handbook of Emergency Medicine, 3rd Edition (previously published as Emergency Medicine: Best Practices at CMC (EMAC)) is a concise, protocol-driven reference built for the fast pace of the emergency department. This edition replaces several traditional management approaches with newer, evidence-based recommendations, keeping every protocol current with the latest guidelines.
The book is organized into 23 sections spanning 158 chapters — from basic life support and cardiac arrest, through anaphylaxis, shock and airway management, fluid and electrolyte disorders, infectious diseases (including a dedicated COVID-19 chapter), toxicology, cardiac, respiratory, neurological, gastrointestinal, hematological, endocrine, obstetric and gynecological, ENT, urological and surgical emergencies, to trauma, pediatric emergencies, disaster management, medicolegal cases and triage.
Each topic is broken into short, scannable subheadings — Introduction, Clinical Presentation, Evaluation and Management — supported by comparative tables, severity-based management grids and diagnostic flowcharts, so a busy resident or physician can find and apply a protocol in seconds.
Who This Book Is For:PG Medical Students and Residents: a compact companion for Emergency Medicine postings, structured around the same case categories seen on ED duty.Intensivists and Emergency Medicine Specialists: a quick-reference for evidence-based management across the full range of medical, surgical and traumatic emergencies.Medical Officers at Secondary-Level Hospitals: a practical guide to acute medical and surgical emergencies and trauma in settings without on-site specialist backup.Why This Book Helps:Cuts through decision fatigue: severity-based management tables (for example mild, moderate, severe and critical COVID-19) show exactly what to evaluate and treat at each stage.Speeds up diagnosis: flowcharts such as the cystitis-versus-pyelonephritis pathway for urinary tract infections turn a multi-step workup into a single glance.Bridges knowledge to bedside procedures: a dedicated Procedures section walks through nerve blocks, central venous access, chest tube insertion, intraosseous lines, cricothyroidotomy, pericardiocentesis, pleural tap and ascitic tap.Keeps protocols current: antibiotic dosing, anticoagulation and corticosteroid regimens reflect present-day evidence-based recommendations rather than outdated practice.Covers the whole emergency department, not just medicine: dedicated sections on trauma, pediatric emergencies, disaster management, medicolegal cases and triage sit alongside the core medical and surgical chapters.Key Features:158 chapters across 23 sections covering the full breadth of ED practice, from basic life support to disaster management.A dedicated Procedures section (8 chapters) and Protocols section (5 chapters), including intubation, investigations, pain management and polytrauma/trauma team activation protocols.Management tables and diagnostic flowcharts built for at-a-glance decision-making at the bedside.Authored end-to-end by Prof. KPP Abhilash, first in India to complete a postdoctoral fellowship in Emergency Medicine, with 140+ indexed publications.Covers rarely-bundled ED topics — triage priorities, medicolegal cases and mass casualty/disaster management — alongside core clinical protocols.
