medStandards

Emergency Standards must act as a reference book for emergency situations and should be easily accessible, have full links and be supplied with further literary sources. A symptom-oriented approach has been knowingly selected, as emergency patients rarely present with clear diagnoses. The first phase of a symptom should provide an overview of the relevant differential diagnoses. In the second phase, the emergency-relevant diagnoses and further investigative/treatment paths are in a highly condensed form. Our philosophy is maximal reduction, so that we never lose sight of the main objective, namely preserving an overview.
