The Management of Wounds and Burns (Paperback, 2nd Revised edition)

Wound management forms the bulk of the work in Accident and Emergency practice. Although most of these wounds will appear minor and the treatment straightforward for many injuries, the consequences of improper assessment or management can be very serious. Disabling injury may be overlooked, and life threatening infections can follow inappropriate treatment. Accident and Emergency staff must be prepared to begin initial assessment and treatment while surgical help arrives. This new edition of The Management of Wounds and Burns provides practical and authoritative information on all aspects of wound and burn care, taking the reader from initial assessment to the treatment of specific injuries. The care and legal aspects of life-threatening wounds are covered, together with anaesthesia, surgical techniques of wound care, wound infection, and injuries to the hand, face, neck, chest, and abdomen. Throughout , the authors present their guidelines concisely and lucidly, with detailed advice on anatomy, medication, and treatment techniques, providing an invaluable guide for junior doctors and nurses in A & E.

Reviews of the first edition: 'Any doctor, regardless of seniority or speciality, likely to be called on to treat a wound would do well to read this valuable book from cover to cover and to retain the wealth of practical information that it contains... the best insurance against patients suffering needless harm after sustaining a wound.' British Journal of Surgery (1993) 'There is good advice throughout the book... It is well suited to the target audience of junior doctors starting a job in A & E and to the nursing staff of an A & E department... Patients can only benefit.' British Journal of Hospital Medicine (1993) 'Each chapter has a clear and well structure layout... I think this book would provide a useful addition to any A & E library.' Accident and Emergency Nursing (1993) 'It covers just about every wound that one is likely to encounter... It will be of great help in the treatment room.' The Medical Journal of Australia (1993)
