The second edition of this popular course manual offers readers a structured revision system for managing the sick and seriously injured. The system, known as the structured approach is the ABC of resuscitation and trauma life support and is practised not only throughout all walks of medicine and the emergency services but is familiar to the lay public and a concept known even to schoolchildren.
This manual is recommended reading prior to the Managing Obstetric Emergencies and Trauma (MOET) course and contains essential knowledge for emergency obstetrics and trauma: it is based on sound principles, is easy to read and gives useful practical advice and management plans.
The 2007 edition now includes minor revisions added in 2009.
