The thoroughly updated Second Edition of this popular and widely used pocket reference guides the trauma team through every aspect of patient care after injury--from prehospital care, to resuscitation, treatment of specific organ injuries, priorities in intensive care, and management of special situations. Designed for rapid, on-the-spot information retrieval, The Trauma Manual, Second Edition will be a staple reference in emergency departments. Flow charts, algorithms, sequential lists, and tables throughout facilitate quick clinical decision-making. More than 100 illustrations demonstrate specific injuries and procedures. Appendices include injury scales, tetanus prophylaxis recommendations, commonly used formulae and values, and frequently used forms. This edition includes a new chapter on commonly missed injuries and common pitfalls.
Certainly I enjoyed reading this handbook, easy to read and recall, well written and organized. It provides basic trauma overview management for medical students, residents level but not above that.the book lacks illustrations may be because it is a handbook???! Overall, it is worth reading. It provides all the need to know trauma info in a pocket size

The manual is updated, easy to reference and full of immediate use material. The diagrams and tables are superb and easy to navigate. The explanations are perfect for the "new" and the experienced for the immedidate reference "with benefits" of deeper understanding. Dr. Craig Jacobus
