tions for the acute care of severe limb trauma patients, both during the prehospital phase and after admission to a Trauma Centre.
Design: A consensus committee of 21 experts was formed. A formal conflict-of-interest (COI) policy was
developed at the onset of the process and enforced throughout. The entire guidelines process was
conducted independently of any industrial funding (i.e., pharmaceutical, medical devices). The authors
were advised to follow the rules of the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and
Evaluation (GRADE1) system to guide assessment of the quality of evidence. The potential drawbacks of making strong recommendations in the presence of low-quality evidence were emphasised. Few recommendations remained non-graded.
Methods: The committee addressed eleven questions relevant to the patient suffering severe limb trauma: 1) What are the key findings derived from medical history and clinical examination which lead to the patient’s prompt referral to a Level 1 or Level 2 Trauma Centre? 2) What are the medical devices that must be implemented in the prehospital setting to reduce blood loss? 3) Which are the clinical findings prompting the performance of injected X-ray examinations? 4) What are the ideal timing and modalities for performing fracture fixation? 5) What are the clinical and operative findings which steer
the surgical approach in case of vascular compromise and/or major musculoskeletal attrition? 6) How to
best prevent infection? 7) How to best prevent thromboembolic complications? 8) What is the best
strategy to precociously detect and treat limb compartment syndrome? 9) How to best and precociously
detect post-traumatic rhabdomyolysis and prevent rhabdomyolysis-induced acute kidney injury? 10)
What is the best strategy to reduce the incidence of fat emboli syndrome and post-traumatic systemic
inflammatory response? 11) What is the best therapeutic strategy to treat acute trauma-induced pain?
Every question was formulated in a PICO (Patient Intervention Comparison Outcome) format and the
evidence profiles were produced. The literature review and recommendations were made according to the GRADE1 methodology.
Results: The experts’ synthesis work and the application of the GRADE method resulted in 19 recommendations. Among the formalised recommendations, 4 had a high level of evidence (GRADE 1+/) and 12 had a low level of evidence (GRADE 2+/). For 3 recommendations, the GRADE method could not be applied, resulting in an expert advice. After two rounds of scoring and one amendment,
strong agreement was reached on all the recommendations.
Conclusions: There was significant agreement among experts on strong recommendations to improve
practices for severe limb trauma patients.

Observation, interpretation, actions for improvement, questioning are all terms that echo the situation of caregivers since the outbreak of the COVID-19 epidemic in France at the beginning of 2020. All those involved in the healthcare chain have had to cope with the infl ux of patients and to show that they are capable of seeing their practices evolve on a daily basis. What was recommended a few weeks earlier could quickly become obsolete. It was necessary to be reactive and the question of drug treatments was at the heart of the concerns, requiring prescribers to keep themselves informed and pharmacists to be as mobilized as possible to respond to requests from the fi eld as quickly as possible.

The limb trauma is a brutal event for every patient in any context. Many questions quickly arise, and the role of the nurse is essential in listening, educating and supporting the patient in the pre and postoperatively. The scope of the questions is wide, from information on the course
of the operation to the patient’s family and social reintegration postoperatively. In addition to reinsurance, the state registered nurse will play a central role in organising the return home and helping the patient to return to socio-professional activities.

The position of the nurse in the emergency reception service is central. Her role has become more complicated in recent years with the evolution of the emergency services. The particularity of the nurse on duty in the
emergency department lies in autonomy, adaptation, adjustment and the ability to anticipate, as well as in participating in the diagnosis. A concrete case will illustrate her role in the multidisciplinary care chain of a victim of limb trauma, from reception to treatment.
Limb trauma is a frequent pathology in pre-hospital care. The first responder caregiver plays a crucial role in terms of the application of the initial care in order to save the limb and life of the patient and to limit the functional consequences. He has to follow strict rules of safety and efficiency. The quality of his initial assessment will guide him towards the most appropriate care and the appropriate chronology.
The management of a patient with limb trauma begins with a rapid assessment of the lesions in order to prioritise the treatment of life-threatening lesions, primarily haemorrhage. Severe limb trauma is
defined by the presence of specific severity criteria and requires the injured person to be referred to a specialised severe trauma centre. The prognosis is twofold, both vital and functional, based on the speed as well as the quality of immediate pre-hospital care, specific hospital care and the prevention of secondary complications.
Eating habits are evolving. In a public health context, guidelines are regularly updated according to the nutritional status and health of the French population, but some of these recommendations go unheeded. In the context of the current epidemic, nutritional care must be provided to high risk populations as well as to patients
presenting, or having presented, COVID-19, in order to favour immunity and recovery.
COVID-19 infection results in an unrestrained inflammatory reaction in serious cases. The autonomic nervous system (ANS), in particular the parasympathetic branch, helps to regulate the inflammatory response. A dysfunction of this branch, frequent in people at risk of developing COVID-19, favours a pro-inflammatory effect. Reinforcing and stimulating the parasympathetic ANS
is possible and accessible to paramedical and medical professionals.

Ce livre ne s'adresse pas seulement aux soignants de la santé... mais aussi aux soignants que nous sommes tous. S'il est bien une chose que l'on apprend sur le terrain dans la fulgurance de ces instants ou dans la gestion d'autres moments de cinétique plus longue, c'est que la notion de soin et d'abord une question de présence. Professionnels des ressources humaines, du management, en gestion de crise, administrateurs, mais aussi monsieur tout le monde trouveront ici du matériel pour mieux comprendre, savoir pour agir et ne plus subir.
Un formidable outil de densification personnelle.
Les traumatismes, stress, drames et autres accidents de la vie relèvent autant d’événements de la vie quotidienne que de situations exceptionnelles comme les catastrophes naturelles, les guerres ou les attentats. En certaines circonstances, l’appareil psychique est débordé par ces événements, une souffrance s’installe, et une aide adaptée est alors nécessaire pour prendre en charge ces « blessures invisibles »
Fondé sur la grande expérience de l’auteur et sur des histoires cliniques, l’ouvrage définit les différents tableaux cliniques (état de stress post-traumatique, harcèlement moral, burn-out, traumatisme sexuel, syndrome de Lazare, résilience…) et les diverses techniques disponibles de prise en charge (défusing, débriefing, psychothérapies, EMDR…) et de prévention
Des exemples concrets présentent enfin les modalités d’action selon les circonstances (prise d’otage, deuil collectif, guerre, catastrophe, camp de réfugiés) et selon le lieu de la prise en charge (institution, travail avec un interprète…)
Inscrit au cœur d’une pratique quotidienne, tout en s’appuyant sur des connaissances théoriques, l’ouvrage s’adresse aux thérapeutes, médecins, psychiatres, psychologues, infirmiers et ą tous les soignants qui accompagnent les personnes touchées par un traumatisme psychique.
Il fallait regrouper les repères de compréhension clinique, éthique, du soin, les référentiels, les outils du quotidien au lit du patient (domicile, service et réanimation), et plus encore... Nous avons plein de surprises à venir. Une première version qui a vocation à la densification par vos propositions d'amélioration, de rectification.
