3. The Management of Wounds and Burns, Jim Wardrope,
Paperback, Oxford University Press
Wound management forms the bulk of the work in Accident

will appear minor and the treatment straightforward for
many injuries, the consequences of improper assessment
or management can be very serious. Disabling injury may
be overlooked, and life threatening infections can
follow inappropriate treatment. Accident and Emergency
staff must be prepared to begin initial assessment and
treatment while surgical help arrives. This new edition
provides practical and authoritative information on all
aspects of wound and burn care, taking the reader from
initial assessment to the treatment of specific
injuries. The care and legal aspects of life-threatening
wounds are covered, together with anaesthesia, surgical
techniques of wound care, wound infection, and injuries
to the hand, face, neck, chest, and abdomen. Throughout
, the authors present their guidelines concisely and
lucidly, with detailed advice on anatomy, medication,
and treatment techniques.
