Reviews
'This is a wonderful introduction for providers in any discipline managing injury at the time of presentation in the emergency department. Concise, well-written presentations make this an excellent bedside reference. After review of the opening chapters, readers can progress to the organ system of interest. For those less familiar with injury, comments on procedural sedation and commonly missed traumatic problems are an important aid.' David J. Dries, Doody's Book Review Service
'Overall, the book is very well organized, includes essential information, and is easy and enjoyable to read. The text is detailed enough to be a primary reference during emergency medicine residency, although any practicing emergency physician would find it helpful as a quick reference on the job ... trauma reference books oriented to the care of trauma patients before definitive operative management, like The Emergency Medicine Trauma Handbook, are a must read for emergency physicians.' Gabriel Morales, Annals of Emergency Medicine
