Marx: Rosen's Emergency Medicine 7th edition: Concepts and Clinical Practice 2 Volume Set (Expert Consult Series)

We are pleased to provide this 7th edition of Rosen's Emergency Medicine: Concepts and Clinical Practice, now in its 28th year of existence, and wish to recite several changes intended to enhance its content, readability, and purpose. The textbook has been converted into two volumes and reduced in size by more than 500 pages. This was accomplished with judicious editing but mostly through the transfer of the entire bibliography onto the book's website at expertconsult.com, where the full text is available online, along with an image library, Q&A, and updates. The number of chapters is virtually unchanged while the number of annotations per chapter has been expanded. More importantly, we have strived to render the textbook as strongly evidenced based as possible through reliance on the vigilant selection of high-quality and recent references. We will continue to add online updates, wherein recent journal articles selected by the senior editors are abstracted and electronically plugged into the margins of the relevant area of the existing web-based version of the book. We also have the good fortune of adding numerous authors who are authoritative in the subjects about which they write as well as a new team that has composed a Question and Answer compendium. Much of the artwork and the format have been reworked and many of the photographs, including radiographs, have been updated.

We are grateful to many. The authors have committed their many hours and substantive expertise to lay the foundation. The editors have performed yeoman's work to maintain consistency in templating each chapter and to help assure accuracy and clarity. We thank Judy Fletcher, our Publishing Director; Stefanie Jewell-Thomas, our Acquisitions Editor; and Dee Simpson, our Developmental Editor; for listening thoroughly and suggesting wisely and for all their work behind the scenes. We are most appreciative for the terrific support from our administrative assistants, Tricia Wyatt and Gail Franklin (JAM), Maria Figueroa (RSH), and Diane Pugh and Janice Bingham (RMW). We could not have committed the requisite time and energy to this labor of great love were we without the encouragement and buoying up from our families. Finally, we thank you, Peter, for making all this possible just because you chased a dream three decades ago.
