Separate chapters focus on basic sciences related to craniocerebral and spinal trauma. Each chapter provide key learning points, highlights, detailed discussion on the pathophysiology, special considerations, evidence base available, management protocols, recommendations, summary, and opportunities for further research studies. The book includes numerous helpful photographs and anatomical drawings, clear flow charts and tables to aid in diagnostic and surgical decision-making and to identify surgical indications. It provides essential information on anatomy, physiology, and pathology, and individual chapters cover lab investigations, radiology, and imaging in trauma.
This book assists the practitioners in anesthesia, neurology, neurosurgery, orthopedics, obstetrics, pediatrics, scientists, postgraduate students, and researchers in trauma management. This book is a key reference for the latest available scientific evidence, controversies, recommendations, and updated knowledge on trauma care in a single volume.
