| Summary |
This book provides a comprehensive, state-of-the-art overview of chest trauma. The text reviews all aspects of chest wall, intra-thoracic organ, and great vessel injury management, with each section of the book structured anatomically to explore specific treatment options.

The book also contains a section on disaster and mass casualty events, focusing on specifics of treatment, ethics of resource allocation, and the role of specialized centers. Written by experts in the field, Management of Chest Trauma: A Practical Guide is a valuable resource for clinicians and practitioners who treat patients afflicted with injuries to the chest |
