Blood Loss and Shock

By Pawelczyk Secher

A key factor in the treatment of the traumatized patients is the amount of blood lost since injury. This is relevant not simply from the point of view of transfusing blood but also in the body's response to the shock of blood loss. This book provides a framework for the understanding of the complex clinical effects of blood loss and outlines strategies for treatment in the trauma unit or intensive therapy unit. The international editorship and clinical research approach make this a unique, comprehensive and authoritative text which will be of use to everybody working in this field.
