Acute Care Surgery and Trauma: Evidence-Based Practice discusses important surgical management approaches and clinical decision making based on scientific evidence found in the published literature.
The first edition of this book represented a breakthrough in the discipline by establishing evidence-based guidelines for practitioners. Now updated and fully revised, this new edition continues to support clinicians by providing the most up-to-date information and evidence on which to base their decisions across all aspects of acute surgery and trauma, thus optimizing decision making for the care of individual patients.
The book features chapters written by specialists in acute care, trauma, and emergency surgery, with extensive references throughout. It also includes useful tables summarizing key evidence and clinical recommendations for quick reference and easy interpretation.
A unique feature of this edition is the inclusion of expert commentary to accompany each specialist chapter, including clinical pearls from senior surgeons in the field, making this an invaluable resource for all acute care and trauma practitioners.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
"Chapters are clearly written and open with an outline before proceeding to presentations involving questions related to patient management. For each question, a summary of evidence is provided with a brief paragraph indicating recommendations. Excellent use is made of tables that summarize questions posed in each chapter...This book can be recommended for the literature reviewed and the breadth of the questions asked." - David J. Dries, MD(University of Minnesota Medical School), Doody Enterprises
"... should be in the library of every medical school, every department of surgery, and every surgeon."
