The Handbook of Emergency Medicine is the evolved compilation of department protocols, which were put together in 1995, to facilitate standardised patient care in the Emergency Department. Over the past 18 years, there have been frequent revisions, thereby reflecting the change in concepts of emergency care as well as the escalating demand for additional material by the end user.
