Synopsis

As part of a series of three books, Trauma Case Studies for the Paramedic presents 20 case studies on the most important traumatic emergencies often encountered. Assisting the reader to identify whether the patient is time critical or not, and testing thought processes for patient interventions, this text helps contextualise much of the theory of trauma treatment. Suitable for students preparing for placements or as a CPD activity for professionals already in practice, this is a superb supplement to classroom and textbook learning.

A propos du livre

À propos des auteurs

With more than 38,000 members, the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (aaos.org or orthoinfo.org), is the premier not-for-profit organization that provides education programs for orthopaedic surgeons and allied health professionals, champions the interests of patients and advances the highest quality of musculoskeletal health. Orthopaedic surgeons and the Academy are the authoritative sources of information for patients and the general public on musculoskeletal conditions, treatments and related issues.More than one in four Americans have bone or joint health problems, making them the greatest cause of lost work days in the U.S. When orthopaedic surgeons restore mobility and reduce pain, they help people get back to work and to independent, productive lives. Orthopaedic surgeons keep this “Nation in Motion.” To learn more about A Nation in Motion campaign, or to read hundreds of patient stories or to submit your own story, visit ANationInMotion.org.
