Riassunto

This 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.
