Glendale, CA (PRWEB) August 09, 2013 -- Audio-Digest Foundation Announces the Release of General Surgery Volume 60, Issue 10: Compartment Syndrome.
The goal of this program is to improve the surgical management of compartment syndromes. After hearing and assimilating this program, the clinician will be better able to:
1. Define abdominal compartment syndromes.
2. Evaluate patients with compartment syndromes via pressure measurements and physical examination.
3. Correlate pressure measurements with the appropriate level of treatment.
4. Diagnose extremity compartment syndrome (ECS).
5. Choose appropriate sites and sizes of incisions for decompression of ECS.
The original programs were presented by Raul Coimbra, MD, PhD, Monroe E. Trout Professor of Surgery and Executive Vice Chairman, Department of Surgery, University of California, San Diego, School of Medicine, and Chief, Division of Trauma, Surgical Critical Care, and Burns, UC San Diego Health System, and George Velmahos, MD, Professor of Surgery, Harvard Medical School, and Chief of Trauma, Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston.
