Trauma Rules - Softcover

Von der hinteren Coverseite

This pocket book contains 60 rules covering the most important aspects of trauma care, compiled especially for those dealing with the immediate and early management of the severely injured patient.

Each simple, instantly recognisable rule is backed up with the reason and the exceptions. Where appropriate the message is strengthened with an instructive line drawing. The three principle stages of trauma management are covered within the 60 rules:

• approach to the patien


• initial assessment and resuscitation


• investigation and definitive care.

The lively writing and presentation make the book fun to learn from. Armed with a copy on site, anyone involved in major trauma management - ambulance staff, doctors and nurses in the emergency department and all those on the "trauma team" - will feel confident about handling and treating patients appropriately in the first hours of injury.
