A Handbook of Emergencies in ENT- Head and Neck Surgery.

This handbook is a unique addition in the field of emergencies in otorhinolaryngology and head and neck surgery. The authors had done their best to provide the good handbook. The authors have mentioned all the emergency conditions very precisely which helps the reader to find it. It is user-friendly in terms of reading. A Chapter in burns has been included in the handbook which is good and helpful. The nutshell mentioned within the chapter is like the cherry on the top for the handbook. The emergency procedure which is mentioned in detail helps the reader to find it easy for performing the procedure. All the features make this 262 pages handbook worthy of inclusion in any otorhinolaryngologists' library. It is particularly suitable for residents, medical doctors who work in emergency, General practitioner, Pediatricians and Otorhinolaryngologists. This handbook consists of variety of chapters and images depicting the emergency conditions in otorhinolaryngology. They are organized in a logical fashion: section A: The ear with variety of emergency conditions. Section B: The nose and paranasal sinuses with variety of emergency conditions. Section C: The throat and head and neck with variety of emergency conditions. Section D: Burns and Trauma. Section E: Emergency procedures. The main purpose of this handbook is to tackle the ENT emergencies in which the authors have been successful in fulfilling their job. However, I found the addition of mucormycosis chapter to be more relevant in current scenario. Nonetheless, the image quality could be better and on the cover page it is good to mask the identity of the patient. The handbook is published on high quality glossy paper with size that fits the pocket. So, this handbook is highly recommended for the residents, general practioners, pediatricians and the otorhinolaryngologists for immediate consultation during emergency management of ENT cases.
