Trauma
Edited by: David V. Feliciano, Kenneth L. Mattox, Ernest E. Moore

Published by: McGraw-Hill

This definitive one-stop resource begins with an informative look at the history and epidemiology of trauma surgery, as well as injury prevention, before moving into core topics such as trauma systems, triage, and transport, and managing shock. It then delivers a clear, organ-by-organ overview of the treatment of traumatic injuries, from the cranium and brain to pelvic fractures, while covering need-to-know subjects such as anesthesia and infection.

Fremragende bog, der i den seneste udgave fra 2007 er blevet væsentlig omskrevet og med et mere moderne layout. Det er en stor bog, der dækker hele traumatologien. Med den nuværende dollarkurs er prisen på 215 USD er bogen et fund til prisen. Kan stærkt anbefales.

ABC of Major Trauma
Third Edition

Edited by: Peter Driscoll (Hope Hospital, Salford, UK), David Skinner (John Radcliffe Hospital, Oxford, UK) and Richard Earlam

Published by: Blackwell BMJ Books

This ABC is a comprehensive guide to the management of the multiply injured patient during the first two hours after injury. All life threatening problems are dealt with, the chapters being written by experts in various specialities and those who have day-to-day experience of treating patients with trauma in the accident and emergency department. Also covered are subjects related to the handling of accident victims and their transport to hospital and how to deal with major accidents.

Dette er i modsætning til "Trauma" en europæsik bog skrevet i England (det ses vidunderligt illustreret på forsiden, hvor lægen ved patientens hovede er iført skjorte og slips). Det er en velskrevet og velillustreret bog - men med væsentlig mindre tyngde. Bogen kan være god som indføring i traumatologi. Prisen er vejledende 25 Engelse pund, men den kan købes brugt billigt på amazon.uk.com.

Den akutte patient

Edited by: Torben Callesen, Kristian Antonsen, Erika Frischknecht Christensen, Torsten Lang-Jensen Munkgaard Danmark

Published by: Munkgaard Danmark

Den akutte patient er en lærebog, der er skræddersyet til medicinstudiets kurser af samme navn, og bogen er tænkt som en vejledning i praktisk og rationel håndtering af akutte patienter. Der lægges vægt på stabilisering af livs- og førlighedstruende tilstande før en egentlig udredning af patienten. Der er kun få kliniske situationer, hvor behovet for akut intervention er så åbenlyst, hvor tilstanden kan ændre sig så hurtigt, og hvor beslutningsgrundlaget er så relativt spinkelt som ved akut svær sygdom. Som støtte for både den nyuddannede og mere erfarne læge anviser bogen en struktureret tilgang til den akutte behandling af svært syge patienter. Kapitlerne tager udgangspunkt i symptomer og symptombilleder frem for i en traditionel gennemgang af organsystemer. Teksten baserer sig på ABC-princippet med udgangspunkt i de hyppigste patientkategorier og i de tilstande, der hurtigt får fatale konsekvenser, hvis der ikke gøres noget med det samme.

Bogen henvender sig til de medicinstuderende, der skal gennemgå kurset af samme navn - men det er bog, man kan have stor glæde af at vende tilbage til også efter eksamen. Opbygningen er klar, teksten kort og præcis og illustrationerne gode. Trods det svimlende antal forfattere fremstår bogen meget homogen - båret af opbygningen i "symptomer og symptombilleder" samt målrettet undersøgelse og behandling af de tilstande, der er livs- eller førelighedstruende. Det er en bog om alle akutte tilstande, og selvom traumatologien er en mindre del af bogen, er systematikken og tilgangen fælles. Det er en enog meget anbefalelsesværdig bog.
