Description
This addition to the "Spiral Manual" series is a ready pocket reference for all healthcare professionals involved in the management of trauma patients. Designed for rapid on-the-spot information retrieval, it aims to guide the trauma team through every aspect of patient care after injury - from prehospital care, to resuscitation, to treatment of specific organ injuries, priorities in the intensive care unit, and management of special situations. Flow charts, sequential lists and tables are used throughout the book to facilitate quick clinical decision-making. Included are algorithms for evaluation and resuscitation of the trauma patient based on stability and mechanism of injury. Appendices include drug formulary, the Organ Injury Scales, and commonly used formulae and equations.
