Quotes, Reviews or Testimonials

"This edition is dramatically enhanced from the previous 2013 edition. The quality of the text production is dramatically improved, and the breadth of content is excellent. A significant number of the additional authors are national and international experts. While the manual has grown beyond the size easily carried in one's pocket, this rapid and elegant reference is worthy of the bookshelf of the emergency surgeon."

-- David Dries, MD (University of Minnesota Medical School) Doody's Review

"The scope of this book has expanded to better reflect the work of the acute care surgeon. New chapters address the management of critical illness in surgical patients, while chapters on acute surgical problems have been updated and reorganized to reflect current practice."

-- David Dries, MD (University of Minnesota Medical School) Doody's Review - previous edition

"This edition is significantly expanded from the two previous editions to reflect the expanded role of the acute care surgeon."

Audience

Surgeons, intensivists, and emergency physicians at all levels of training will benefit from this book. As was the case in previous editions, many of the authors are from programs at the University of Pittsburgh. Increased input from national and international experts has also been sought.
