Increasing demands on acute hospital resources, together with a reduction in the number of available beds have placed greater emphasis on the need for rapid and effective assessment of patients in order to determine their need for hospital admission. This has led to the widespread emergence of the specialist Medical Assessment Unit (MAUs). This text provides a guide to the assessment and immediate management of patients with acute medical conditions. It presents a structured approach based on common presenting features and focuses on the first 24 hours of the patient’s stay in hospital. In writing this text the authors have been able to draw on their own clinical experiences as a charge nurse in Accident and Emergency nursing and a sister in acute cardiology respectively.
