This 6-chapter resource reviews aspects of emergency trauma care that you manage virtually every day: treating pain in trauma patients, managing geriatric or obese trauma patients, treating sports-related and ballistic trauma, and avoiding risk when managing trauma patients. In addition to our distinguished authors' discussions, we have included pertinent commentaries on each topic from the emergency medical services, research, surgical, legal, economic, and nursing perspectives--in an effort to give a view of all aspects of trauma care.
