Special considerations: geriatric trauma; the management of common wounds, bites, and stings; burns and radiation injuries; temperature related injuries and syndromes; plastic surgery; rehabilitation; and more

Post-trauma complications like cardiovascular failure, as well as multipleorgan failure - the leading cause of post-injury deaths in the intensive care unit today
