Current Therapy of Trauma and Surgical Critical Care, 2nd Edition
Demanding surgical situations require expert advice from pioneers in the field as well as from those on the front lines of trauma care. Practical and evidence-based, Current Therapy of Trauma and Surgical Critical Care, 2nd Edition, draws on the experience of Drs. Juan A. Asensio and Donald D. Trunkey to offer a comprehensive, contemporary summary of the treatment and post-operative management of traumatic injuries. The concise format makes it ideally suited for everyday use, and new, full-color illustrations highlight the most important aspects of urgent surgical care, including ventilator management, damage control, noninvasive techniques, imaging, infection control, dealing with mass casualties, and treating injuries induced by chemical and biological agents.
"I would recommend it as worthwhile reading and a valuable reference for anyone involved in the care of the trauma patient." Foreword by: Jeffrey T. Sugimoto, Creighton University, June 2015

“This textbook will be an excellent resource not only for residents and nurse practitioners, but also for the general surgeon looking for a thorough review of trauma and surgical critical care.
"This edition continues an effective and necessary marriage of two disciplines. Chapters are written by leaders in the field and emphasize pearls for the clinician. Most helpful to surgeons are operative techniques for infrequently seen injuries, such as difficult vascular lesions of the torso and extremities. An attractive set of presentations reflect lessons learned from contemporary battlefield resuscitation and operative and critical care management." - David J. Dries, MD (University of Minnesota Medical School)
"This textbook will be an excellent resource not only for residents and nurse practitioners, but also for the general surgeon looking for a thorough review of trauma and surgical critical care."
-Elizabeth Turner, MD (Annals of Surgery, 2016)
