    Atención inicial al trauma grave. Las primeras 24 horas aborda la atención a la enfermedad traumática grave durante el periodo que engloba desde la atención prehospitalaria hasta al menos las primeras 24 horas. Aunque existen varios cursos que se ocupan de este tema, lo hacen parcialmente y centrándose sobre todo en la atención inicial, la toma de contacto con el enfermo y la toma de decisiones. Este manual destaca por ofrecer una perspectiva de la resucitación que abarca incluso más allá de las primeras 24 horas que forman parte del título. Se incluyen, además, temas como el trabajo en equipo, la comunicación, las cuestiones éticas, la atención a múltiples víctimas y los aspectos del manejo inicial en la unidad de cuidados intensivos.
