Color Atlas of Emergency Trauma

Management of the severely injured patient requires an
experienced team of trauma surgeons, emergency physicians,
physician specialists, nurses, and technicians working
together in harmony to save a life. In the third edition of
the Color Atlas of Emergency Trauma, our team of experienced,
highly skilled trauma practitioners from one of the
busiest trauma centers in the United States has reviewed,
revised, and updated the content to bring you the most
relevant compendium of trauma images available in
a single easy-to-use resource. The reader will immediately
see that all drawings have been redone in a fresh new style,
and many new high-quality images have been added,
bringing the total number of images to more than 1,200.
Our team has also added step-by-step instructions formany of the procedures commonly performed during
trauma resuscitation. Each procedure is accompanied by
drawings and photographs that make the reader feel like
they are right there at the bedside. Our team has also
called upon their decades of experience to provide procedure
“pearls” and “pitfalls” that every clinician will want to
know. The third edition of the Color Atlas of Emergency
Trauma is essential for anyone who provides trauma care
or trauma education. The authors hope that you will enjoy
using it as much as we enjoyed creating it.
