This hands-on manual provides step-by-step, illustrated instructions for each procedure, as well as indications, contraindications, CPT codes, average U.S. charges for each procedure, and more. From the basic (cerumen removal and simple interrupted sutures) to the complex (colonoscopy and chest tube placement), this atlas covers the vast majority of skills you’ll use in your day-to-day practice.

  • Perform procedures more effectively and avoid common mistakes with popular ""pearls and pitfalls"" sections.
  • Go beyond the basics with coverage of complications, post-procedures and pediatric considerations, and evidence-based references in each chapter.
  • Get complete, practical coverage in every chapter, including background information on each procedure; indications and contraindications; sequential instructions, pictures and illustrations of the procedure; bulleted pitfalls and pearls; suggested CPT codes and average charges; and references.
  • Uncover more evidence-based medicine, with referencing throughout the chapters and appendices.
  • View handy compilations of information applicable to many procedures, recommendations, and other practical information in the appendices.
