Current Therapy of Trauma has become the leading text for trauma management. Current Therapy of Trauma and Surgical Critical Care, a new volume in the Current Therapy series, builds on the infrastructure and credibility of the four previous volumes of Current Therapy of Trauma, and it includes critical care and aspects of rehabilitation as well. With these additions, Dr. Juan A. Asensio and Dr. Donald D. Trunkey now cover the full continuum of care—prevention, injury, prehospital treatment, triage, diagnosis, injury management, and postoperative care. The social consequences of trauma have been emphasized since the fi rst edition of Current Therapy of Trauma. Unfortunately, traumatic injury is still the leading cause of lost years of productive life, surpassing cardiac disease,
cancer, and stroke. However, no one young or old is immune to this
disease. The ubiquitous, dramatic, and immediate nature of this medical malady means that this book will be valuable for many health care professionals, including emergency physicians, intensivists, residents, medical students, nurses, fi re–rescue personnel—and not just surgeons.
Leading specialists who have busy clinical practices are the authors of the chapters, and they have contributed to this book because of its stature in the fi eld of trauma care. Their emphasis has been on a practical approach to clinical problems following the principles of evidence-based medicine. Controversies are addressed, but the focus is on preferred treatment approaches. The evolving fi eld of nonoperative management of blunt and penetrating trauma is critically reviewed and updated. The section on critical care is valuable and comprehensive in scope, but not overwhelming. There are even chapters on special issues, including trauma at the extremes of life and in pregnancy, palliative care in the intensive care unit, and management of grief.
Trauma and critical care have undergone rapid growth and maturation. The lessons taught in this book can be applied by everyone who treats trauma victims, and no one interested in their management could read it and not come away better prepared to take care of these patients. Dr. Trunkey has been one of the forces behind the Current Therapy of Trauma reference text since its inception, and the addition of Dr. Asensio represents a symbolic passing of the torch to the next generation of trauma surgeons dedicated to making a difference in this devastating and costly disease.
