More DescriptionThis issue of the Surgical Clinics provides new knowledge in the care of the injured and presents the latest approaches to trauma care for our global habitat. This current issue contains a carefully selected, broad spectrum of articles from leaders in the field, who will update the surgical practitioner on various subjects from the optimal delivery of pre hospital care to the challenge of providing access to the increasing volumes of active elderly patients sustaining critical and potential life-ending injuries. The concept of "damage control", along with improvements in the care of specific organ injuries including thoracic, CNS, and the unique physiologic concepts involved in the care of environmental injury, both thermal and cold, are presented by leaders in these fields. The unique aspects of care required by the injured child and the elderly are presented as well.
