With a new full-color design and a rich atlas of anatomic drawings and surgical approaches, Trauma, 7e takes you through the full range of injuries the trauma surgeon is likely to encounter. Trauma begins with an informative look at kinematics and the mechanisms of trauma injury. Subsequent chapters provide background information on the epidemiology of trauma; injury prevention; the basics of trauma systems, triage, and transport.The next section reviews generalized approaches to the trauma patient, from pre-hospital care to the management of infections. Trauma then delivers an organ-by-organ survey of treatment protocols designed to help you respond to any critical situation with confidence, no matter what body system is involved.The remaining sections will help you successfully handle specific challenges in trauma, including post-traumatic complications. FEATURES § NEW! Trauma Atlas contains precise, concept-clarifying anatomical illustrations and proven surgical techniques that make corhmon procedures more accessible than ever before § High-yield section on specific approaches to the trauma patient prepares you for the wide spectrum of cases in trauma and acute care surgery § Rich collection of algorithms to guide you through the proper diagnosis and management of the trauma patient § Detailed discussion of the management of complications
