Trauma-8판

The world’s leading resource on trauma surgery― with an expanded full-color atlas
A Doody's Core Title for 2017!

Hailed by readers and reviewers for its expert authorship and high-yield clinical content, Trauma is unquestionably
the
field’s definitive text. Enhanced by a full-color design and a high-quality atlas of anatomic drawings and surgical
approaches, this trusted classic takes readers through the full range of injuries the trauma surgeon is likely to
encounter.

Supported by numerous x-rays, CT scans, plus tables throughout, Trauma begins with an informative look at kinematics
and the mechanisms of trauma injury. Subsequent chapters provide useful background information on the epidemiology of
trauma; injury prevention; the basics of trauma systems, triage, and transport; and much more. The next section
meticulously reviews generalized approaches to the trauma patient, from pre-hospital care and managing shock, to
emergency department thoracotomy and the management of infections. Trauma then delivers a clear organ-by-organ survey
of treatment protocols designed to help clinicians respond to any critical care situation with confidence, no matter
what body system is involved. The remaining sections of the book will help readers successfully handle specific
challenges in trauma―including alcohol and drug abuse, and combat-related wounds―in addition to post-traumatic
complications such as multiple organ failure.
