Well-documented case material taken from patients with post-traumatic pulmonary insufficiency is presented. The authors cover, in orderly sequence, the clinical problem, the pathology, and a discussion of the altered physiology. They discuss the origin of the abnormality, what the consequences are to the patient, and how to quantitate the abnormality. Separate sections are devoted exclusively to the pathogenesis, prevention, and treatment.
In an attempt to present the many facets of the syndrome, the authors have devoted the initial 98 pages of the book to a series of 10 case reports. Although this section is lengthier than necessary, it gives the reader an appreciation of the severity of pulmonary complications associated with a variety of pathological conditions such as crush injury, aortic aneurysm, and peritonitis.
The authors' division of the syndrome into four phases based on the clinical, metabolic, circulatory, and pulmonary alterations is beneficial in understanding the pathophysiology of this process.
