Each chapter gives concise and clear guidance and is accompanied by excellent photographs and diagrams.
Edited and written by leading trauma authorities, this is a truly comprehensive and practical book for everyday use by emergency medicine staff, nurses, hospital doctors, paramedics, and ambulance services.
