Emergent Management of Trauma 23 Nov 1999

By francis andrews MRCP FRCSEd FFAEM - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Paperback

This is a compact but detailed practical manual of trauma care. The text is clear and supplemented by high quality tables and illustrations, and is comprehensive. A particular strength is the discussion on advantages and disadvantages of various practical procedures, and I have found this book invaluable as a quick reference in the resuscitaion area. Highly recommended to all emergency medicine trainees.
