TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - Abdominal Trauma A1 - Neal, Jasmin A1 - Giangola, Matthew A2 - Go, Ronaldo C. PY - 2022 T2 - Understanding Crisis in Critical Care AB - Trauma, in its myriad patterns of injury, presents a constant battle not only within the patient but within the systems management of trauma care. Rightfully, the first priority is patient care—identifying those that need immediate invasive intervention, those that require further diagnostic information, and those that can be observed. The focus of this chapter will be abdominal trauma both from a tertiary center’s perspective and within a resource-limited environment. One must stress the importance of adhering to the Advance Trauma Life Support (ATLS) and American College of Surgeons Committee on Trauma (ACS-COT) guidelines and principles.1 SN - PB - McGraw Hill CY - New York, NY Y2 - 2024/03/29 UR - accessanesthesiology.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=1184389193 ER -
