Penetrating Trauma: A Practical Guide on Operative Technique and Peri-Operative Management 2nd ed. 2017 Edition
[amazon template=iframe image2&asin=366249857X]
“The editors have expanded their focus on surgical techniques to include a more holistic assessment of patient care, with several areas of interest to anesthesiologists. … We highly recommend that anesthesiologists with responsibility for trauma patients read and utilize this book frequently. Velmahos, Degiannis, and Doll are giants in trauma surgery, and their surgical insight on evidencebased approaches to care of the patient with penetrating trauma will prove valuable to anesthesiologists caring for such patients.” (Markus M. Luedi and Richard P. Dutton, Anesthesia & Analgesia, Vol. 124 (3), March, 2017)
“This is the second edition of a comprehensive textbook of trauma care with a focus on the patient suffering penetrating injury. … Resuscitation and operative management are appropriately emphasized, but the scope of the chapters spans the full spectrum of trauma care from field assessment and resuscitation through rehabilitation. Senior surgical trainees and practicing surgeons, particularly those with only occasional contact with patients with penetrating injury, will benefit from this book, originating from an international group of authors.” (David J. Dries, Doody’s Book Reviews, December, 2016)
