Many of these patients will be cared for by international volunteers. Unfortunately, good intentions are not always matched by good preparation, often resulting in further complications for patients. This book has been written by a team of international experts with extensive experience of field missions to the most precarious and austere environments in the world, such as Afghanistan, Sierra Leone, Haiti, and Syria. After reading the text, volunteers will be able to face situations that are confusing, chaotic, and distressing with a greater sense of direction and confidence. Health care workers involved in the care of the traumatized patient will find in the book answers and guidance that will help them to negotiate their way through the myriad of unfamiliar cases they will face in the field. The text is divided into sections, each addressing a theme: definition of the austere environment, how best to prepare for missions, how to deal with injuries in austere conditions, how to ensure a positive legacy, and the need for cultural, political, and legal awareness. All of the most common orthopaedic presentations encountered in the austere environment are covered. In addition to evidence-based research, cases and actual experiences from the authors' missions are included to illustrate and bring to life key points. 000755446 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed May 27, 2016). 000755446 650_0 $$aMusculoskeletal system$$xWounds and injuries. 000755446 650_0 $$aMedical assistance. 000755446 7001_ $$aRobinson, Juan de Dios,$$eeditor. 000755446 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aRobinson, Juan de Dios$$tOrthopaedic Trauma in the Austere Environment : A Practical Guide to Care in the Humanitarian Setting$$dCham : Springer International Publishing,c2016$$z9783319291208 000755446 852__ $$bebk 000755446 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-319-29122-2$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000755446 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:755446$$pGLOBAL_SET 000755446 980__ $$aEBOOK 000755446 980__ $$aBIB 000755446 982__ $$aEbook 000755446 983__ $$aOnline 000755446 994__ $$a92$$bISE
