EBOOK
Trauma and Orthopedic Surgery in Clinical Practice
The orthopedic ward can be a challenging location for the recently
qualified doctor. The demands and responsibilities in preparing
patients for elective orthopedic and acute trauma surgery are
often very different. The situation is not helped by the impressive
comorbidity often seen in orthopedic patients or the increasing
tendency for out-of-hours ward cover to be provided by resident
doctors working “off their patch.”
In this book, the authors have attempted to provide a practical
guide to the most common perioperative issues and medical prob
lems found during the day-to-day management of these patients.
The model used is based on an earlier “in-house” publication
written for the guidance of anesthetic trainees working in a trauma
intensive care unit. The authors are all hardened observers of the
speed at which today’s recommendations become yesterday’s
history and so have made a particular effort to select references
that will assist in readers remaining updated.
