Description
This hands-on reference - based on the acclaimed skill and expertise of the Shock Trauma Center at the Maryland Institute for Emergency Medical Services Systems (MIEMSS) - is designed to help users make effective diagnostic decisions and begin lifesaving measures quickly and confidently. Eight comprehensive sections outline the steps necessary to handle virtually every type of critical care situation, including initial evaluation, systems injury, shock, systems failure, infection, nutritional support, and monitoring. Separate chapters focus on special considerations such as pediatric trauma, trauma nursing, burns, hyperbaric therapy, and problems related to the dying patient.
