Sommario/riassunto

You won’t find a more comprehensive textbook covering the related fields of trauma, critical care, and emergency general surgery than Acute Care Surgery. Relying totally on evidence-based content rather than theory, each of the 64 chapters in this book highlights cutting edge advances in the field and underscores state-of-the-art management paradigms. The overarching principle of acute care surgery is early and expedient medical/surgical intervention and this book offers the reference material every trauma, critical care, and emergency room surgeon needs to deliver on that principle.
