Información de la editorial

An authoritative, yet concise reference book for medical personnel facing the treatment of victims of ballistic trauma, this book is designed both for those working under the arduous conditions of war and for physicians in a hospital. Ballistic trauma is becoming an increasingly important area
as every emergency department will encounter victims of civil violence, and during times of war all those involved in military surgery need to be able to treat the wounded. Therefore this book aims to bring together the science behind the management of ballistic trauma. The intention is to provide
surgeons with an understanding of the fundamentals of this area and its mechanisms and some insight into the significance of new weapons as well as the variations of the principles of management. Ballistic Trauma will enable the clinician facing a clinical problem to feel sufficiently informed to
make coherent choices appropriate to the circumstances.
