Contemporary Principles and Therapy
by Lewis Flint
Trauma spans the entire field of trauma, from trauma systems, to the composition and practice of the trauma team, to management of all injuries seen in a trauma setting.
Trauma consists of short, specific, clinically relevant chapters. Evidence for therapeutic recommendations is presented wherever possible. A companion Website will include the fully searchable online text.
