Electrical Injuries: Medical and Bioengineering Aspects, Second Edition

by Christopher Andrews, Ryan Blumenthal, Mary Ann Cooper

Since the first edition of this book six years ago, new information about many aspects of electrical and blast injuries has become available. As a result, a variety of topics were added and updated in this second edition. You will be pleased with the results. The purpose of this book is to explain electrical and blast injuries in a useful way to physicians, other medical personnel, military personnel, patients and their families, educators, engineers, attorneys, and other professionals. Divided into six sections for ease of use and navigation, this book covers clinical management, bioengineering, body system injuries, electrical sources, accident reconstruction, and much more! Understanding electrical injuries and explosions (electrical or bombing-related) is complex and a multi-disciplinary perspective is required. Information from both medicine and engineering is relevant to the understanding of such injuries. This new edition offers you this approach.
