About the Book

This is a unique text combining information on initial trauma management with the evidence based literature available on a wide variety of trauma related topics. Step-by-step algorithms provide practical guidance on the evaluation and initial treatment of injured patients. An evidenced based annotated bibliography in each chapter critiques the literature used to create these algorithms. Contents cover 30 specific conditions including: airway management; abdominal trauma; chest trauma; back and flank penetration; brain injury; injury to the extremitie; spinal injury; gunshot wounds; trauma in pregnancy; evaluation of the sexually; assaulted patient; and, mass casualty incidents. With contributions from the leading US trauma centers, this book employs both the evidence based literature and the authors hands on experience to provide the groundwork for rapid and balanced decision making.
