Overview

Head injuries are common. Although the majority of patients survive, head injuries have devastating consequences, both physically and socially. The initial assessment and management of head injuries are critical in determining the outcome of the injury. Yet, head-injured patients are usually dealt with by non-specialists, often junior doctors, and in district hospitals where specialist neurosurgical assistance is unavailable. This book covers the emergency treatment of minor injuries and the management of major head injuries before referral to the neurosurgical department. It is aimed primarily at junior doctors working in the accident and emergency department, and at general surgeons practising in areas where transfer to specialist centres is impossible. Concise practical guidelines are augmented by key points, lists, photographs and line illustrations. This is the fifth book in the series of ""Oxford Handbooks in Emergency Medicine"".
