About this book
There currently is a clear tendency to an increasing number of accidental injuries in elderly people, in sport injuries and car crashes also in countries which recently joined the European Union and candidates to join the European Union. Patients expect very good functional results even after serious injuries. But in contrast to this development, Trauma Surgery as an independent field, is not yet established in all European countries. Therefore, it seems mandatory to compile a book that covers the state-of-the-art in Trauma Surgery. The book also serves to harmonise the practice of Trauma Surgery within the European Union, and to prepare for the exam of the U.E.M.S.
Reviews
From the reviews:
“This is the second volume in the Trauma Surgery series produced by the editorial group of the European Manual of Medicine. It provides an overview of trauma care with a European perspective. Use of this work could facilitate preparation for standard European examinations. Providers and trainees at all levels of sophistication managing patients with injuries will find this work helpful. … This book provides an overview of clinical organization, resuscitation, and management of common problems.” (David J. Dries, Doody’s Book Reviews, May, 2014)
