New Burn Book Published

A pocket-sized reference, The Essential Burn Unit Handbook, is dedicated to the evaluation, diagnosis, care, and treatment of burn patients. Co-authored by Jeffrey J. Roth, MD, and William B. Hughes, MD, the book targets plastic surgeons, dermatologists, critical care specialists, emergency room physicians, nurses, residents, and medical students.

 

The practical guide covers the spectrum of burn care, from the initial assessment and treatment to the long-term sequelae. Offering a full range of day-to-day management modalities, the book includes sample orders and templates for patient presentation and organization of notes.

 

Illustrations and tables enhance the publication's usefulness. The 150-page book costs $29.
