Description

This comprehensive reference on paediatric trauma addresses the components necessary to control injury as a diseaase entity.

Effective injury control strategies are now linked in sequence with acute care and rehabilitation. Any individual committed to injury control should find the information presented useful. This reference textbook focuses upon the needs of children and their families. Each contributor provides a perspective on a particular area of expertise with their comments and additional reference material.
