Special Considerations in Trauma Care

The book covers special considerations in trauma care. The chapters will deliberate on the clinical management of trauma in a particular population group or situation, which is often not covered in other books on trauma care. Accordingly, there will be chapters on trauma as per different body regions, geriatric, pediatric, fetal, and trauma with pregnancy. Separate chapters will focus on basic sciences related to craniocerebral and spinal trauma. Each chapter will provide key learning points, highlights, detailed discussion on the pathophysiology, special considerations, evidence base available, management protocols, recommendations, summary, and opportunities for further research studies. Numerous helpful photographs and anatomical drawings will accompany the text in chapters. In addition, clear flow charts and tables are included to aid in diagnostic and surgical decision-making and to identify surgical indications. Essential information is provided on anatomy, physiology, and pathology, and an individual chapter is devoted to lab investigations, radiology, and imaging in trauma. This book will assist the practitioner in neurology, neurosurgery, anesthesia, orthopedics, obstetrics, pediatrics, scientists, postgraduate students, and researchers in trauma management in negotiating the difficult-to-find information regarding different aspects of trauma. This book will be a key reference point for the latest available scientific evidence, controversies, recommendations, and updated knowledge on trauma care in a single volume.
