Request a sales quoteThis highly regarded case-based book focuses on the principles of pre-hospital and retrieval medicine and the continuum of care provided for critically ill or injured patients in the field. The second edition has been extensively re-written and updated to keep up with the rapidly expanding sub-speciality of Pre-Hospital and Retrieval Medicine (PHRM)/Pre-Hospital Emergency Medicine (PHEM).
Written by leading specialists in PHRM, each question and discussion is usually illustrated with a photograph from author archives and real events. The cases are divided into the following themes: pre-hospital medicine; retrieval medicine; service development and special circumstances; and a new section on Paediatric and Neonatal retrieval.
The book is ideal study aid for PHRM/PHEM training and examinations and is designed for all members of the multidisciplinary PHRM team.
Essential reading for a broad range of emergency medical and non-medical personnel, the book features:
- a visually assisted format and high-level discussion
- operationally useful appendices, including human factors tools, critical clinical procedures and recommended equipment lists
- PHRM relevant clinical reviews inclusive of multitrauma, stabilisation and transfer of the physiologically unstable patient, paediatric and neonatal retrievals, major incidents and HAZMAT, environmental emergencies and physical rescue, flight physiology, advanced multi-organ support, end-of-life discussions in the field, teamwork and crew resource management, clinical governance and communication
- case study approach enhances the dynamic learning experience
- real photos and case studies bring content to life
- an eBook included in all print purchases
