Download or read book Aeromedical Transportation written by Terence Martin and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2006 with total page 952 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses relevant issues of the special physiological, psychological and physical stresses that are important in the flight environment. It describes, in detail, the conditions needing this form of transport and how patients may be safely carried. Practical and international in approach, much of the book is devoted to clinical matters. Administration and organization are also discussed, but are addressed from the standpoint of the clinical aeromedical escort. The text is suitable for medical, paramedical and nursing personnel and for those working in organizations whose duties include the transportation of the sick and injured by air. This second edition of Aeromedical Transportation is a more accurate, succinct, relevant and referenced version of the first. Since the first edition was published in 1996, the concept of "evidence-based medicine" has been accepted as essential in any book that endeavors to be the accepted knowledge base in its subject area. It is still the only book published anywhere in the world that is devoted to the principles of aeromedical transport. As such, it has rightly become known as the sole reference for the industry. To maintain this credibility, the book has been further researched, corrected, updated and referenced. International in scope, it omits the first edition's less useful information. New material includes chapters on the transport of intensive care patients and medical emergencies/death in flight.

Download or read book Handbook of Patient Transportation written by Terry Martin and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2001-01-11 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past three decades, there has been growing concern over the management of victims of trauma and of medical emergencies, not least in the standard of prehospital care which they receive. In the 21st century, there is an increasing requirement to transfer patients, by road and by air, to and from specialist centres of excellence or within hospitals from department to department as modern medicine dictates that the patient requires intra-hospital movement to an imaging scanner, to the operating theatre, and then perhaps to intensive care. This book is a practically based text in which the reader will find easy-to-digest details on clinical management and on the logistics of different transport modes as well as facts about the physics and physiology of patient movement. It is intended as a basic reference for those who seek to work in transportation medicine, primarily doctors, but it will prove of great relevance and interest to nurses, paramedics and those who administer ambulance and air ambulance organisations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Retrieval Medicine is a core, concise and practical text covering the complex clinical and logistical problems experienced in the retrieval environment. Focusing on evidence-based management and clear clinical guidance, this easily portable handbook provides a comprehensive and accessible guide to this growing field for all health professionals involved in the retrieval and transfer of critically ill patients. Covering the practice of acute, emergency and critical care medicine in the transport environment, this handbook provides the practical guidance and clinical knowledge to enable medical practitioners to function independently in highly variable and resource limited environments with acutely unwell, unstable and often clinically undifferentiated patients over long durations. Closely mapped to the Royal College of Surgeons syllabus on retrieval and transfer medicine, this title comprehensively covers all aspects of retrieval medicine, from basic flight physiology to more complex retrievals and common pitfalls. Authored by an authoritative, international team of expert editors and specialist authors, this clinically focused text is complemented by a range of checklists and reference tools for practical and accessible use in the field. These deliver core information for use in the primary retrieval setting, allowing the retreivalist to structure their approach to a crisis and correct the problem with suggested interventions. Topics include retrieval systems and coordination, crisis resource management, shock, and a range of chapters focusing on responding to specific areas of medicine when encountered in the retrieval environment, such as cardiology and obstetrics and gynaecology.

This book was released on 2017-06-07 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Legacy of Lessons Learned: Landstuhl Regional Medical Center During Wartime, 2001-2014: For over 25 years, Landstuhl Regional Medical Center (LRMC) has served as a model of “selfless service,” stepping up to the demands of a suddenly increased rate of traumatically injured service members arriving from the battlefield. From Operations Desert Storm/Desert Shield; through the attacks in Somalia, the Khobar Towers, and USS Cole; to the recent conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq, LRMC has stood at the forefront of military healthcare, receiving our Nation’s and our partners’ wounded and ill from battlefields and contingencies across multiple theaters. From a community hospital providing routine healthcare delivery to personnel stationed in Europe and their families before 9/11, LRMC transitioned into a Level 1, triservice, integrated trauma center, providing lifesaving care to tens of thousands of evacuated service members, in addition to handling all the associated needs of these patients, from payroll assistance to chaplain services, service and unit liaison support, and veteran service organization support, as well as delivering ongoing healthcare to beneficiaries across Europe, Africa, and Asia. The goal of this text is to share the lessons learned by LRMC staff in converting from a peacetime to wartime footing, serving as a guide for US military hospitals in similar situations in the future. The innovations and solutions planned and implemented so successfully by LRMC staff will assist future military medical and line leaders in maintaining the highest quality of healthcare services for future generations of our service men and women in combat, improving upon the historically high survival rates seen in these conflicts.
