Authors: Pearson, Ivan (2017) - This book takes a practical approach to developing, implementing and evaluating practice based on 'evidence' in its broadest sense. It does this by describing the complexities of evidence-based practice without over-simplifying the issues and processes involved. Where necessary for a comprehensive wlderstanding of the principles of evidence-based practice, the theoretical underpinnings are explained and explored. A number of devices are incorporated in the book for this purpose. For example, scenarios from practice are included to give the reader an opportunity to apply the principks and strategies exanuned in the book. As an adjunct to this process, a toolbox approach is incorporated in the various chapters to aid in the identificatiOll of the right tool for the particular task.

Authors: Cyril Mauffrey (2019) - Compartment syndrome is a complex physiologic process with significant potential harm, and though an important clinical problem, the basic science and research surrounding this entity remains poorly understood. This unique open access book fills the gap in the knowledge of compartment syndrome, re-evaluating the current state of the art on this condition. The current clinical diagnostic criteria are presented, as well as the multiple dilemmas facing the surgeon. Pathophysiology, ischemic thresholds and pressure management techniques and limitations are discussed in detail. The main surgical management strategy, fasciotomy, is then described for both the upper and lower extremities, along with wound care. Compartment syndrome due to patient positioning, in children and polytrauma pat...
