Description
Summary:The object of this book is to provide a concise clinical guide to the nature and management of toxic trauma which can be used to aid preparation and responses to releases of chemical agents. This book provides practical guidance to emergency personnel and others faced with the possibly unfamiliar situation of having to manage individual or mass chemical casualties as part of their work in a civilian ambulance service or hospital. The text considers the nature of the hazards faced and the practical management of persons exposed to chemicals and to toxins (which although of biological origin behave as chemicals in terms of their effects and transmission). Hopefully, it will help to promote confidence and a positive approach to chemical casualty management among those who find themselves in what may be an unfamiliar situation with little or no advance warning and will promote an integration of toxic trauma into a comprehensive approach to the overall management of trauma.
