It discusses the history of aeromedical evacuation, triage and staging of the injured patient, evacuation from site of injury to medical facility, air-frame capabilities, medical capabilities in- flight, response to in-flight emergencies, and mass emergency evacuation. Specific medical conditions are addressed in detail in the second half of the book, including general surgical casualties such as abdominal wounds and soft tissue injuries, vascular injuries, maxillofacial injuries, head and spinal cord injuries, ophthalmologic casualties, orthopedic casualties, burns, pediatric casualties, obstetric-gynecologic casualties, and more. For each medical condition, important topics are addressed such as conditions needed to be met before transportation, special concerns, supplies and needs of the specific patients and possible in-flight emergencies and their appropriated treatment. Containing several new chapters and featuring extensively updated contributions from experts in the field, Aeromedical Evacuation: Management of the Acute and Stabilized Patient, Second Edition is a must-have reference for a whole new generation of military flight surgeons and flight nurses responsible for aeromedical evacuation of casualties as well as civilian physicians and nurses involved in air transport of ill and post-operative patients. . 606 $aTraumatology 606 $aCritical care medicine 606 $aTraumatic Surgery$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H59125 606 $aIntensive / Critical Care Medicine$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H3100X 615 0$aTraumatology. 615 0$aCritical care medicine. 615 14$aTraumatic Surgery. 615 24$aIntensive / Critical Care Medicine. 676 $a616.025 676 $a616.025 702 $aHurd$b William W$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aBeninati$b William$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910349363903321 996 $aAeromedical Evacuation$91734911 997 $aUNINA
