Color atlas of emergency trauma

"This full-color atlas presents nearly 700 images from the largest and busiest trauma center in North America. The images bring the reader to the bedside of patients with the full spectrum of common and uncommon traumatic injuries including motor vehicle accidents, falls, lacerations, burns, impalements, stabbings, and gunshot wounds. The clinical, operative, and autopsy photographs; x-ray, ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging, and angiography radiographs; and original illustrations depicting injury patterns will help guide clinicians in recognizing, prioritizing, and managing trauma patients. Organized by major body regions into separate chapters on the head, face, neck, chest, abdomen, musculoskeletal system, spine, and soft tissue, this thorough text discusses management guidelines, emergency workup protocols, and common pitfalls. The Color Atlas of Emergency Trauma is an essential resource for those involved in trauma care."--Jacket.
