The 10th edition is the first major emergency medicine text to fully digest the lessons of the COVID-19 pandemic. New chapters address respiratory pandemic logistics, donning/doffing protocols, the physiology of prone positioning in the ED, and the management of "long COVID" complications.
Published by McGraw-Hill and edited by Dr. Judith E. Tintinalli, along with associate editors Dr. O. John Ma, Dr. Donald M. Yealy, Dr. Garth D. Meckler, Dr. J. Stephan Stapczynski, Dr. David M. Cline, and Dr. Stephen H. Thomas, the 10th edition arrives at a time when emergency care is more complex and resource-constrained than ever. The 10th edition is not merely a reprint with updated statistics; it is a comprehensive overhaul designed to reflect the current reality of the emergency department (ED). Key updates include:
Point-of-care ultrasound is no longer an ancillary skill; it is the fifth vital sign. The new edition integrates POCUS into virtually every relevant chapter—from cardiac arrest and trauma to biliary disease and DVT evaluation—rather than isolating it in a single section.
