| book description |

This revised, updated 3rd edition of Surgical Decision Making presents a systematic approach to surgical decision-making. In this edition, emphasis is given to economic consideratons and outcome projection as factors affecting the decision-making process. With decision trees and succinct accompanying text, well-known and international experts guide the reader through the process from one diagnostic or therapeutic step to the next, citing crucial decision points throughout. Special features of this text include coverage of over 200 surgical diseases and disorders, from possible occurence, through management options, to final resolutions and prognosis; adjacent to each decision tree are the key signs, symptoms, the latest preoperative tests and progression of laboratory tests; rationales for each regimen or procedure aid understanding and build an independent, systematized approach to decision making; thorough discussions highlight the latest tests, operations and procedures to bring the reader up to date; the chapter on cardiopulmonary resuscitation provides a decision analysis of a nonsurgical problem, featuring a variety of diagnoses and treatments in a simple, easy-to-comprehend style.
