"Chapters are organized systematically, covering indications for the procedure, anatomy, evaluation, equipment, technique, and complications. Topics cover a range from highly specific to the emergency practitioner to procedures commonly encountered in urgent care settings, including splinting techniques and abscess incision and drainage... filled with quality images of procedures gone awry and boxes/tables that provide concise management recommendations... Ultrasound is sprinkled throughout ultrasound images are of exceptional quality and large enough for the reader to visualize what needs to be visualized. The accompanying text is succinct and filled with tips for the practitioner... this text has survived to serve as an exceptional resource to future emergency and acute care physicians. Kudos to all of you for meeting Dr. Roberts’ most exacting standards.” Review by Brigitte M. Baumann, MD, MSCE, Annals of Emergency Medicine, May 2026
“Every chapter I read was extremely well written… chapter on hypothermia and hyperthermia is the best discussion of this topic I have seen. In fact, many of the chapters rise to that level of commendation… Various types of collars and boards are shown with the proviso that none are known to be beneficial and some are known to cause harm. This is a lesson that we need to take to our prehospital colleagues… The excellent anatomic illustrations… this is not just a procedure manual, this is the “Gold Standard” for emergency medicine and critical care. This is the most outstanding textbook that I have reviewed in many years. It should be in every emergency department, intensive care unit, and anywhere procedures are done." Review by Edward J. Otten, MD, FACMT, FAWM Professor of Emergency and Pediatrics, The Journal of Emergency Medicine, January 2026
4 Stars! "This is a textbook on the procedures performed in emergency medicine and includes not only in-depth descriptions of the procedures performed, but also the indications, contraindications, complications, and other considerations. It includes a plethora of photographs, diagrams, illustrations, and figures.... The need for a repository of procedure knowledge like this is undeniable. This book is an incredible resource that has no equal.... It is detailed and comprehensive enough to help inexperienced proceduralists through most procedures.... There are innumerable graphics to help learn the anatomy and geometry of specific procedures. The ebook also contains dozens of videos. The text is clear and easy to read. Most chapters are organized step-by-step as one would in a clinical encounter.... The overall quality of this book is excellent, and its utility is unparalleled.... I highly recommend this textbook for those who might perform procedures in acute care settings. In fact, I consider it essential." Review by Benjamin Willenbring, MD (Regions Hospital) ©Doody's Review Service, 2026. Doody's Score: 92, 4 Stars!
Review of the previous edition:
"This has been recognized as the authoritative book on emergency medicine procedures. As evidenced by a large number of new authors, countless images, and high-quality videos on current topics, this book remains as relevant as ever. It is truly the definitive reference on emergency medicine procedures." -Reviewed by Michael D. Zwank, MD, RDMS, FACEP (University of Minnesota Medical School) Doody's Score: 93, 4 Stars!
