This book focuses on important surgical management issues where one or more problems are addressed using scientific evidence from the published literature, and predominantly cites Level I and II evidence from the Oxford Scale. The 85 chapters are conveniently arranged into three sections; Trauma, Emergency General Surgery, and Surgical Critical Care Problems. Each chapter incorporates key questions on a particular topic and answers are provided along with the strength of the recommendation in clear tabular form for quick reference and easy interpretation.





Acute Care Surgery and Trauma: Evidence Based Practice is essential reading for all surgeons, fellows and residents, in particular those working in acute care, trauma, emergency and critical care medicine.
