Damage Control in Trauma Care: An Evolving Comprehensive Team Approach, 1e
This book describes current, evidence-based guidelines for damage
control interventions across the field of trauma care with the aim of
enabling clinicians to apply them to best effect in daily clinical
practice. Emphasis is placed on the need for trauma surgeons and their
teams to recognize that optimal damage control in severely traumatized
patients depends upon the combination of immediate assessment,
resuscitation, and correct surgical management. The book opens by
examining the evolution of damage control and the very significant
impact that military damage control interventions have had on civilian
emergency health care through improvements as simple as bandaging and
tourniquets. Damage control measures in different specialties, including
neurosurgery, orthopedics, vascular surgery, cardiothoracic surgery,
anesthesia, and critical care, are then covered in detail. Readers will
also find helpful information on a range of other important topics, such
as the role of pre-hospital care providers, damage control within the
emergency department, adjuncts of damage control, and damage control in
austere environments. This book is a ‘must read’ for all clinicians in
the trauma field.
