Seules une prise en charge très rapide et multidisciplinaire et une bonne orientation permettront d'améliorer le pronostic. Abordant successivement les grands principes diagnostiques et thérapeutiques en fonction de la localisation des traumatismes, cet ouvrage présente les différents aspects de la prise en charge d'une victime souffrant de polytraumatisme.

Rentrer en communication avec un patient pour apporter bien être...). Des photos permettent au lecteur de découvrir les gestes qui soulagent et qui facilitent l'installation d'un climat de confiance entre le personnel soignant et les malades.
