Foreword
Trauma in ENT practice is fairly common, but its severity varies from trivial to a life-threatening emergency such as airway obstruction. The general practitioner is taught the basics of treating minor trauma and the initial lifesaving skills in dealing with major trauma before transferring the patient/casualty to the appropriate center for specialized care. The ENT surgeon, on the other hand, is expected to manage any ENT emergency regardless of whether he or she is practicing in a standalone clinic or a tertiary referral hospital. However, the emergency surgical skills are not learned fully during the training phase, due to many reasons, one being paucity of time and the second being exposure to real emergencies. This practical textbook written by Dr Jayita Das—associate professor, Department of ENT, Head & Neck Surgery, Pondicherry Institute of Medical Sciences—gives a detailed description of all kinds of trauma that an ENT or casualty medical officer may have to face.
