"Trauma Team Dynamics is an appropriate expansion on the principles of ATLS. ... An appropriate audience includes senior trainees or providers in emergency medicine, anesthesiology, orthopedics, or trauma surgery. ... Each chapter has an adequate reference list with citations dating to within one to two years of publication as well as classic works from decades ago. ... all are well written and providers of all degrees of sophistication will find helpful information here."
