Klappentext

This quick-reference guide is the first book written specifically for the many third- and fourth-year medical students rotating on the trauma surgery service. The book focuses on the diagnosis and management of the most common pathologic entities. Each chapter covers history, physical examination, imaging, and common diagnoses.

Chapters include key illustrations, quick-reference charts, tables, diagrams, and bulleted lists. Students can read the text from cover to cover to gain a general foundation of knowledge that can be built upon when they begin their rotation, then use specific chapters to review a sub-specialty before starting a new rotation or seeing a patient with a sub-specialty attending. Topics covered include trauma systems and teams, resuscitation and transfusion, chest tubes and E-FAST, operating room practices and approaches, specificinjuries arranged anatomically, special populations, and much more.
Practical and user-friendly, Trauma Surgery Clerkshipis the ideal, on-the-spot resource for medical students and practitioners seeking fast facts on diagnosis and management.
