Now in a completely revised and updated edition, this book (its previous edition published by Bailliere Tindale) will be a valuable resource for all grades of staff within the multidisciplinary team caring for patients with burn injuries. It aims to increase the reader's understanding of the effects of burn trauma, and outlines the management of care during hospitalization. The book considers the treatment needs of patients of all ages with different types of burn injury, in a variety of clinical environments. This text will prove to be an additional resource for those nurses undertaking diplomas or degrees and/or post-basic education relating to the specialty of burn care. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005.
