The Management of Wounds and Burns by Jim Wardrope

The Management of Wounds and Burns by Jim Wardrope

Wound management forms the bulk of the work in Accident and Emergency practice. Each year, approximately three million wounds will be treated in the Accident and Emergency departments in England and Wales. Most of these wounds will appear relatively minor, and the vast majority will be easily treated. However, proper assessment and treatment is essential, even in the most minor wounds. Disabling injuries may be overlooked, and life-threatening infections may follow inappropriate treatment. In this book, the authors provide practical 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. The definition and immediate and on-going management of burns are also covered.
