This is the first book exploring�the�unique dynamics created by a multidisciplinary trauma team�and how crisis management strategies can improve teamwork and communication and, potentially, improve patient resuscitation outcomes.� � Crisis resource management (CRM) is integral to the way that we manage ourselves, team members, and patients during emergency situations.� It is essentially the ability to translate knowledge of what needs to be done into effective actions during a crisis situation.� Building�on the revolutionary�American College of Surgeons Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS®) course,�Trauma Team Dynamics�illustrates the integration of the principles of CRM to team dynamics throughout the resuscitation �� from the scene, through pre-hospital care and transport, to the trauma bay, and finally to definitive care and beyond.� �� � The editors and contributors are international experts in trauma, critical care, emergency medicine, nursing, respiratory therapy, and pre-hospital care�and include NASA- and United States military-affiliated experts.��Trauma Team Dynamics�is intended for use as both a day-to-day clinical resource and a reference text, and includes self-assessment questions as well as guidance on CRM curriculum design and implementation.
