DESCRIPCIÓN

La atención al paciente politraumatizado es un área de la medicina tremendamente exigente, que implica a personal sanitario de distinto nivel de formación y que debe trabajar en equipo, utilizando unos mismos principios médicos y un mismo lenguaje. Por ello, existe una necesidad real de actualizar los conocimientos en este campo. El presente texto ha sido revisado y ampliado para abarcar todos los aspectos del trauma prehospitalario militar. Adaptado expresamente para los militares, este libro contiene nueve capítulos de la medicina militar escritos por el Committee on Tactical Combat Casualty Care, principal órgano que supervisa la atención traumatológica. Se ha utilizado como libro de texto en los cursos que está realizando el PHTLS en España para militares. Los capítulos 5 y del 19 al 27 tratan temas como la atención táctica del accidente en combate, triaje en zona de combate, evacuación en primera línea de conflicto, evacuación de un paciente de un punto de atención a otro, heridas por explosivos, por fuego, apoyo médico en operaciones urbanas o consideraciones éticas para el médico de combate.
