Blood, Time and Judgement: Lessons in Trauma, Austere Surgery and the Physiology of Survival - Tapa blanda

Blood, Time and Judgement (Paperback)

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. In trauma, there are only three currencies that truly matter. Blood. Time. Judgement. Far from the resources of the modern hospital, on warships, in field hospitals, at roadsides and in the wilderness, survival is decided by the blood a patient can lose, the time a team can buy, and the judgement of the clinician who must decide, often with too little of all three. Drawn from a career spanning operational military surgery, major trauma care and austere practice, Blood, Time and Judgement distils the disciplines of damage control surgery, leadership under pressure, training and expedition medicine into forty-two unforgettable lessons, each built around a single surgical aphorism a clinician can carry into the worst hour of their career. Inside, you will learn: - Why haemostasis outranks elegance, and how the lethal triad hunts as a pack- When to operate, when to stop, and why the master knows before they begin- How physiology, not anatomy, commands the damage control operation- What leadership sounds like when the generator fails and the casualties keep coming- How to train, prepare and decide when resources are scarce and stakes are absolute Written by a former Surgeon Commander in the Royal Navy with academic appointments in the United Kingdom and the United States, including Imperial College London, the University of Sussex and the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences, this is not a textbook. It is the concentrated judgement of a career spent where medicine meets its limits. For surgeons, emergency and pre-hospital clinicians, military and expedition medics, and anyone who must make irreversible decisions with incomplete information. This item is printed on demand.
