Trauma is the leading cause of death for individuals under 40 and ranks third for all age groups. Despite this, few clinicians specialize in trauma, with most training acquired through hands-on experience. As pre-hospital care advances, the number of trauma patients is expected to rise. Additionally, hospitals see trauma treatment—requiring no pre-approval—as a lucrative revenue source. Consequently, opportunities for trauma specialists, including anesthesiologists and critical care physicians, are set to increase.

This book responds to the growing need for a comprehensive, clinically-focused resource for practitioners and trainees in trauma anesthesia and critical care. It is organized by organ system and edited by an attending physician at a renowned urban hospital known for its exceptional emergency medical services, including trauma care. Leading trauma anesthesiologists contribute to this volume, making it an essential resource for anesthesiologists, pain medicine physicians, critical care physicians, and trainees.
