Trauma One!
Trauma One! was written by Bruce Argyle, MD
Never has mastering multiple-trauma patient treatment skills been so easy. Trauma One! solidifies your approach to the trauma victim. It teaches therapeutic priorities, threshhold for action, and completeness of workup.
Trauma One! presents a trauma victim and you begin management. Undertake stabilization measures, obtain historical and physical exam information, order tests, and perform procedures on your patient. See the interventions in the "trauma room" on your computer screen.
Meantime, the computer is out to get you. It's looking for weaknesses in your approach -- one oversight, and the computer will nail you. It's the best way to learn solid trauma management. It's fun, too.
Trauma One! has a many nice features to help you learn. The patient chart is kept automatically, allowing you to review the treatment flow, lab tests, and x-ray reports. There's a very complete trauma-care manual available on-screen, just a mouse-click away.
