Opis

As a guide for doctors and nurses working in the A & E department, or the Orthopaedic or General Surgical Ward, the emphasis of this book is on the early management of the head- injured patient. New to the seco nd edition are chapters on managing the 'disturbed' head injured patie nt, a chapter of special value to nurses (who often have to deal with this difficult task). A new chapter on anaesthesia and head injuries h as also been added, with other chapters significantly revised to refle ct the crucial role played by anaesthetists in head injury management. Providing practical advice on the early treatment of minor head injur ies, and the management of major head injuries, the book provides advi ce that will be essential in ensuring effective treatment of these pat ients.

Recenzje

The management of head injuries is a well-written, concise and useful book that will be of interest for anyone who has to look after head injuries. I found it readable and full of sensible advice... The book bridges the gap between a handbook and definitive text extremely effectively.
