Description

This is the fifth edition of Emergency War Surgery. There is no comparable textbook on the best practices and principles of forward deployed trauma surgery. This update to the 2013 edition includes the latest lessons, techniques, and principles learned from US military engagements in Afghanistan, Iraq, and elsewhere. In the last decade and a half, the exceptional combat casualty care our military medical professionals have provided has led to the lowest mortality rate in the history of warfare. With the inclusion of the substantial advancements recently made in how we treat patients, this edition of Emergency War Surgery will become an even more valuable resource, particularly for our military medical personnel who will undoubtedly make even greater strides in the future. Over the years, this textbook has attracted readers beyond the surgical and critical care communities. It has been translated into 20 languages and has become an important reference for anyone in combat operations.
