DESCRIPTION:
"Handy for the whitecoat pocket" according to S R Ward. I found this handbook to be a handy little reference for the whitecoat pocket on Trauma/Surgical Critical Care. The typeset makes it a little difficult for me to call it a "quick reference" guide, but it is very helpful in review of the majority of situations relating to trauma care. As usual, another quality product from Mass Gen.
Written by a multidisciplinary team of residents, fellows, and faculty at the Massachusetts General Hospital, this new addition to the LWW Handbook Series is a practical, accessible guide to the evaluation and management of trauma and burn patients. Chapters on specific injuries follow a consistent structure: epidemiology and mechanisms, important surgical anatomy, important physiology, initial evaluation, diagnostic methods, nonoperative management, operative techniques, postoperative care, rehabilitation, and long-term follow-up.. In a format designed for quick reference, this pocket-sized book presents hospital tested guidelines and procedures for pre-hospital care and transport, immediate assessment and interventions, and evaluation and management of specific injuries at each anatomic site
