Description and Table of Contents
Description
Owing to the severe life-threatening nature of many of the injuries it is not always possible to transfer patients to a specialized cardiac centre. This book is the definitive account of current practice in cardiothoracic trauma, covering the injuries caused in both penetrative and non-penetrative trauma to the heart itself and the major arteries and veins which lead to and from it. Unique features include numerous high-quality line drawings, photographs, X-rays, flow charts and lists of key points. Each chapter concentrates on the practical managing aspects of chest trauma, with authors presenting their wealth of practical experience and sharing techniques developed after many years of dealing with cardiothoracic trauma.
