Beschreibung
Trauma is a serious public health problem worldwide and is the leading cause of death among adults and children. Physiotherapists play a key role in the interdisciplinary team caring for patients with physical injury after a traumatic event. The aim of Cardiopulmonary Physiotherapy in Trauma: An Evidence-based Approach is to encourage quality evidence-based physiotherapy management of adult and paediatric survivors of trauma in an acute care setting on a global level.
The first edition of the book was written by South African physiotherapy academics and clinical physiotherapists with expertise in trauma care. This new edition involves the South African writers from the first edition as well as a team of international experts in trauma care across health care disciplines (including surgeons, nurses, occupational therapists, dieticians, pain experts, and social workers). The information shared in the first edition has therefore been updated with more clinical expertise and the latest available evidence. The new content in this latest edition aims to make physiotherapists more aware of the importance of considering how pain influences patients' participation in therapy sessions, and of a team approach to patient care (e.g. managing pain and planning of care) to ensure the best possible outcomes for adult and paediatric patients with traumatic injury, at hospital discharge.

Key Features:
- Extensive pedagogical features make this text easily digestible and accessible for undergraduates, postgraduates, and practitioners on the go who are new to trauma care, e.g. 'Key Messages' boxes with practice tips to encourage learning; clinical case scenarios (adult and paediatric) that provide problem-solving approaches and demonstrate how to manage specific types of trauma patients; tables with definitions, comparisons, and outcome measures; practical techniques described with precision; well-illustrated text includes line diagrams, photographs, and radiographs to clarify important concepts
- Detailed strategies for the physiotherapy management of cardiopulmonary problems experienced by patients recovering from traumatic injury in the acute care setting are provided
- Exercise therapy strategies for the rehabilitation of patients recovering from traumatic injury in the acute care setting and after hospital discharge are provided
- The only truly comprehensive and pedagogical textbook on the topic
