Plaster Casting

This book provides sufficient practical details to enable nurses, plaster technicians and doctors to apply presentable and functional casts, avoiding common hazards. It concentrates on basic principles which can be adapted for individual patient's needs and circumstances. A feature of the book is its emphasis on patient care, both in hospital and at home. In particular, the patient's own self care responsibilities are clearly demonstrated. ENB post registration orthopaedic nurses, and students on the A&E theatre and basic RGN and EN courses would all find this book relevant to their work whether with clinics, wards, or in trauma theatres.
