Acute Care Surgery and Trauma ─ Evidence-Based Practice

The evidence-based approach to surgical management combines clinical expertise with the best available external clinical evidence to select the most appropriate treatment plan for individual patients. Some of the 81 contributions focus on a specific trauma, such as spinal cord injury, while others focus on emergency disorders that frequently require surgery. Closing chapters address bacteremia, catheter infections, ventilator-associated pneumonia, acute myocardial infarction, perioperative arrhythmias, renal dysfunction, and abdominal compartment syndrome. The second edition adds material on trauma care and surgical emergencies. Annotation c2016 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
