Notice Trauma Nursing is an ever-changing field. Standard safety precautions must be followed, however, as new research and clinical experience broaden our knowledge, changes in treatment and drug therapy become necessary or appropriate. Readers are advised to check the product information currently provided by the manufacturer of each drug to be administered to verify the recommended dose, the method and duration of administration, and contraindications. It is the responsibility of the treating physician relying on experience and knowledge of the patient to determine dosages and the best treatment of the patient. Neither the Publisher nor the editor assumes any responsibility for any injury and/or damage to persons or property.

Preface

The Electronic Library of Trauma Lectures®

The Society of Trauma Nurses (STN), a premier nursing organization representing nurses world-wide, is committed to advancing the trauma nursing profession through continuing education. The STN strives to enhance the delivery of care through collaboration and education across the globe to improve patient outcomes that save lives.

The STN brings value to nursing education by introducing one of the most respected educational resources available for teaching nurses. The Electronic Library of Trauma Lectures® is a CD of trauma related presentations considered the pre-eminent industry resource on trauma nursing care. The Electronic Library is designed to complement the highly acclaimed text, Trauma Nursing: From Resuscitation Through Rehabilitation 3rd edition, (2002) by McQuillan, et al. and serves as a complete educational program for training nurses across the trauma continuum of care.

Each presentation contains learning objectives, a detailed lecture format with built-in instructor notes and discussion questions. Additionally, there are post- test questions and answers for each presentation that may be used for self- assessment purposes.

Clinical experts in the field of trauma care participated in the project both as authors and reviewers. Any comments or feedback regarding the Electronic Library are welcomed and may be e-mailed to the [email protected].

Acknowledgements

The editors are especially grateful to our colleagues whose contributions to The Electronic Library of Trauma Lectures® made this book a success. Especially to the reviewers, Kate FitzPatrick and Heidi Hotz, who spent endless hours critiquing the content of the presentations. In particular, we wish to thank Ann White, RN, MSN, Assistant Professor, Duke University School of Nursing for her invaluable help validating the test questions and performing the copy editing for the Electronic Library. Thank you Kate, Heidi and Ann for your thoroughness and response to our needs. Additionally, we would like to acknowledge the nursing professionals across the globe who dedicate each day to achieving the highest possible standard in the delivery of patient care.

The publication of this book represents a landmark in the STN’s publishing history. The prompt Electronic Library is our first book on a CD which is a revolutionary change in printing of a traditional textbook.
