This new book provides evidence based guidelines for the immediate clinical management of major trauma.

It has been written by clinicians with many years of trauma experience, and endorsed as authoritative by Trauma Care (UK).

The UK now has highly effective trauma systems. Clinical developments include the introduction of damage control resuscitation, tranexamic acid, blood product resuscitation, novel hybrid resuscitation and an emphasis on the control of major external haemorrhage as part of a new ABCDE approach. Consequently, more individuals with major trauma are surviving than ever before. Optimal pre-hospital care is essential for improved survival rates and reduced morbidity.

Reviews for Trauma Care Pre-Hospital Manual

"""This book can be recommended for the scope of presentations ranging from bedside procedures to organization for mass casualty situations. It is well written, and the reference lists and index are quite helpful. As noted, there may be some regional variation in prehospital practice. Nonetheless, this is an excellent overview of the pertinent issues."" David J. Dries, MD(University of Minnesota Medical School)."
