About this book

Ryan's Ballistic Trauma 3rd Edition provides a concise guide to the clinical and operational issues surrounding the management of the ballistic casualty. This book crystallizes the knowledge and experience accrued by those dealing with ballistic trauma on a regular basis and extends this to those who have to manage these patients on an occasional basis only. Ryan's Ballistic Trauma 3rd Edition is a valuable reference tool for all medical and paramedical personnel involved in the care of patients with ballistic injury. It is especially relevant for consultants and senior trainees in surgery, anesthesia and emergency medicine who are likely to be involved in the management of these unique injuries. This book is essential reading for pre-hospital care providers and nurses working in the emergency room, as well as military surgeons and medical and nursing staff on deployment in regions of conflict.

Reviews

From the reviews of the third edition:

“This is the third edition of an extensive manual on the physiology and management of the patient injured by blast or projectiles. … Surgical, emergency medicine, and critical care trainees with an interest in trauma or military service commitment are an appropriate audience for this book written by expert surgeons, intensivists, and anesthesiologists. … Tables and line drawings reproduce well. A detailed table of contents lists authorship and groups the 45 chapters by content while the concluding subject index provides excellent access to topics.” (David J. Dries, Doody’s Review Service, October, 2011)
