Each chapter incorporates key questions on a particular topic and answers are provided along with the strength of the recommendation in clear tabular form for quick reference and easy interpretation. Acute Care Surgery and Evidence Based Practice is essential reading for all surgeons, fellows and residents, in particular those working in acute care, trauma, emergency and critical care medicine.
