“Ballistic Trauma: A Practical Guide” provides a concise guide to the clinical and operational issues surrounding the management of the ballistic casualty, crystallizing the knowledge and experience accrued by those dealing with ballistic trauma on a regular basis and extending it as well to those who have to manage these patients on an occasional basis.

This book is aimed at all medical and paramedical personnel involved in the care of patients with ballistic injury. It will be especially relevant for consultants and senior trainees in surgery, anesthesia and emergency medicine who are likely to be involved in the management of these unique injuries. It will be an essential reference for pre-hospital care providers and nurses working in the emergency room and intensive care. Military surgeons and medical and nursing staff on deployment in regions of conflict will find the book a valuable resource.
