Acute Trauma Care in Developing Countries 1st Edition

Acute Trauma Care in Developing Countries, 1st Edition by Kajal Jain and Nidhi Bhatia is an indispensable guide for health professionals working where every minute and every resource counts. This practical, evidence-informed text focuses on lifesaving strategies tailored to low- and middle-income countries, offering clear protocols, context-aware decision making, and real-world case examples drawn from busy emergency departments across South Asia, sub-Saharan Africa and Latin America.

You’ll find concise chapters on initial assessment, stabilization, haemorrhage control, airway management, orthopedic and head injury approaches, and transfer logistics — all adapted to resource-limited settings. Emphasis on scalable techniques, cost-effective equipment choices, and team-based workflows makes this book especially valuable for emergency physicians, surgeons, anaesthetists, nurses, paramedics, and humanitarian responders.

Readable and clinically focused, the book blends actionable algorithms with practical tips for improvisation when standard tools aren’t available. It also addresses systems-level considerations: triage, referral networks, training priorities, and quality improvement initiatives relevant to hospitals, district health centers, and field clinics in developing regions.
