The Management of Head Injuries: A Practical Guide for the Emergency Room
The Management of Head Injuries: A Matter-of-fact Guide for the Emergency Room Books
Product Description
Head injuries are usual. Though most patients survive, the consequences, both corporal and social, can be devastating. The methods of initial assessment and management can have a crucial effect on determining the outcome of the injury, and long-term effects. But, only a minority of head-injured patients are cared for by Neurosurgeons. The majority are seen by non-specialists, often junior doctors and nurses, and treated in district hospitals where specialist neurosurgical help is unavailable. As a guide for doctors and nurses working in the A & E department, or the Orthopaedic or General Surgical Ward, the emphasis of this book is on the early management of the head- injured patient. New to the second edition are chapters on administration the ‘messed up’ head injured patient, a chapter of unique value to nurses (who often have to deal with this trying task). A new chapter on anaesthesia and head injuries has also been added, with other chapters significantly revised to reflect the crucial role played by anaesthetists in head injury management. Providing matter-of-fact advice on the early treatment of minor head injuries, and the management of major head injuries, the book provides advice that will be essential in ensuring effective treatment of these patients.
