Synopsis

The Companion Series to Bailey & Love's Short Practice of Surgery is a response to the ever-growing specialization in surgery and a recognition that surgeons require additional high-quality information and resources in order to achieve balanced training.



With appropriate training in critical care, surgeons can ensure that treatment of serious postoperative infection, thromboembolism, femoral fractures and the like conforms to the best modern management. In addition, 'Critical Care of the Surgical Patient' can play a significant role in the training of specialist registrars and can assist in developing high-dependency and intensive care units.



Comprehensive yet concise, this particular volume addresses the need for treatment of patients within various sub-groups (sepsis, geriatrics, vascular emergencies, cardiorespiratory disease, major trauma). It does so using the characteristic Bailey & Love approach - didactic in style, practical in emphasis and international in focus - providing detailed scientific, investigative, operative and management information for both trainee and practising surgeons as well as critical care/intensive care physicians worldwide.



Those who use this book will appreciate that the combined knowledge and experience of fifty specialist contributors offers a fitting tribute to Dr Hanson who was internationally respected for her part in advancing the care of desperately sick people as well as for her own enthusiasm and professional skills.
