Ditch Medicine : Advanced Field Procedures for Emergencies

Hugh L Coffee, "Ditch Medicine : Advanced Field Procedures for Emergencies"
English | 1993 | ISBN: 0873647173 | PDF | pages: 226 | 9,3 mb

Whether it is a war zone or a civil disaster site, in today's dangerous world, traumatic injuries are likely to occur in remote, often unsanitary locations. However, as a rule, modern emergency medicine-including mobile hospitals and rapid evacuation to established trauma centers-fails to reach injured patients in the field. It is in just such a scenario-where physicians are not found, patients transport is measured in days instead of minutes, resources are limited, and the environment is hostile-that the Pre-Hospital Care Provider (PHCP) is in his or her element. Ditch Medicine covers advanced medical procedures in a field setting. Should the PHCP find himself on an isolated battlefield or in the middle of some form of civil disaster, his ability to employ the procedures covered in this book in a timely and competent manner can mean the difference between life and death. Through graphic photographs, professionally rendered illustrations, and case studies drawn from Central America, Southeast Asia, and Africa, Hugh L Coffee provides real-world lessons and step-by-step instructions for small would repair, care for the infected would, decompression and drainage of the chest, intravenous therapy, emergency airway procedures, treatment for anaphylactic shock, pain control, amputation, treatment of burns, and nutrition and emotional support. Ditch medicine is a must for the well-prepared EMT, disaster-relief professional, medical worker, or anyone with an interest in practical field applications.
