Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
The most trusted, widely used guide to managing the trauma patient--now in a 2-colour format with added algorithms
.
'This comprehensive text on trauma and its complications is an important treatise, which belongs in the library of all students, residents, and practitioners who care for or wish to be informed about care of the injured patient.'--Charles E. Lucas, MD, Wayne State University Department of Medicine (from the foreword).
This definitive one-stop resource begins with an informative look at the history and epidemiology of trauma surgery, as well as injury prevention, before moving into core topics such as trauma systems, triage, and transport, and managing shock. It then delivers a clear, organ-by-organ overview of the treatment of traumatic injuries, from the cranium and brain to pelvic fractures, while covering need-to-know subjects such as anesthesia and infection.

Have read last two editions they keep getting better but unlike other texts that get morte in depth with each edition, this book is pretty superficial which is great for a resident but wears thin as an attending.

I am not a trauma specialist, but reading many chapters of this book has helped me understand a lot of the principles of this complex aspect of medicine.
The book is very up-to-date and I have never heard a trauma car-giver make bad comments about it. All 3 trauma attendings I have worked with have recommended this book.
For a surgery resident that does trauma rotation, I think this might be too much. Pubmed instead would be more value-for-time, but if you want to study further this is a great book.
Rated by buyers -
This textbook should be the standard for any surgeon taking care of trauma patients. Some of the graphics are poorly reproduced and dated, but the information is current and well presented.
