Ebook KGD : International Trauma Life Support for Emergency Care Providers Ninth Edition
The ninth edition of International Trauma Life Support for
Emergency Care Providers has been reorganized to reflect a
more functional approach to the assessment and manage-
ment of the trauma patient in the prehospital environment.
The book is divided into four sections.
Section I, “Essential Information,” includes Chapters 1–7.
These topics are core to the care of the trauma patient and
include mechanism of injury, assessment of the trauma
patient, hemorrhage control, and shock and airway man-
agement. Following each didactic chapter on a clinical topic
is a chapter that reviews the essential skills needed to man-
age the clinical situation.
Section II, “Foundational Knowledge,” includes Chap-
ters 8–16. Topics include assessment and management
of injuries to specific body areas: chest trauma, abdomi-
nal trauma, spinal injuries and spinal motion restriction,
extremity trauma, and traumatic cardiac arrest. Chapters
covering specific skills follow the didactic material.
The chapters in Section III, “Special Populations,” include
burn patients, older adults, pediatric and pregnant patients,
and patients under the influence of intoxicating substances.
The final section, available online or in text, covers other
important areas: standard precautions, pain control, multi-
casualty triage, trauma scoring, air medical, drowning, heat
and cold injuries, advanced skills, and overview of tactical
medical care.
