"Professor Rosenfeld is a highly respected authority of neurosurgery and neurotrauma care. He masterfully edited this elegant book with 28 contributors mainly from Melbourne, Victoria, but also from USA and UK. It is a credit to his organisation and leadership skills that this multi-authored book has amazing structural consistency throughout its 28 chapters. The editor aimed this book to a broad audience of various medical and surgical specilties, from medical students to specialists, from rural doctors to specialist centres with neurosurgical training programme and also to paramedics, nurses, physician assistants and allied health professionals...In Australasia, all hospitals who are managing injured patients should have this book in their libraries; certainly, I recommend it to my students, trainees and trauma fellows. In conculsion, Professor Jeffery Rosenfeld's book is a didactic, well-illustrated coverage of a very important aspect of trauma care. The book represents the optimal balance between the update of the latest scientific evidence and the practical aspects of the everday trauma care." Zsolt J.

Reseña del editor

A succinct, pictorial approach to managing patients with head and neck injuries

Practical Management of Head and Neck Injury is an indispensible reference for junior doctors working in emergency or surgery/neurosurgery units.

This authoritative medical textbook covers the head and neck patient’s journey through various stages, including the pre-hospital setting, the emergency room and the intensive care unit. It incorporates all aspects of care at each stage.

Practical Management of Head and Neck Injury addresses an extensive range of head and neck injuries and prognoses, all of which are supported by clinical photographs, radiology images and line diagrams.

A unique strength of this medical reference book is its scope. As well as head and neck injuries, it deals with issues related to head and neck trauma, such as injuries to the face, scalp, skull base, orbits, paranasal sinuses, intracranial cavity and neck.

This recommended medical text emphasises damage-control principles and emergency surgery for non-neurosurgeons, making it a potentially life-saving tool for surgical trainees, EM trainees, paramedics, remote medical practitioners (including military surgeons and physicians), ICU trainees, EDs, medical students and nurses working in specialist units.
