Overview

""Handbook of Clinical Trauma Care: The First Hour"" is an easy-to-use pocket manual that provides emergency nurses and other trauma care providers with a wealth of practical information for managing trauma patients during the critical first hour of care. The content has been thoroughly updated and includes current topics in trauma care, clinical concepts, specific clinical practice issues and skills, and insight into special populations and their unique care needs. The handbook's user-friendly outline and bulleted format make the information easy to retrieve, which is essential for practitioners in the fast-paced trauma care environment.
