The Management of Major Trauma

Prompt, appropriate care of trauma patients can save lives and shorten recovery time. The Management of Major Trauma provides clear, concise, guidance on the management of patients with multiple injury and major trauma during the first few hours of care. The advice is based upon clinical and research experience of the two authors who have themselves provided such care in major teaching centres. This second edition has been updated and reorganized to make the book more user friendly and it includes new advances in the field. This practical and concise guide will prove invaluable to all those responsible for the immediate management of trauma victims. This book is intended for medical trainees in accident and emergency medicine; intensive care and anaesthesia; general surgery; and GP's involved in basics and emergency primary care.
