Damage Control Resuscitation

Addresses the resuscitation of patients with life-threatening hemorrhage in prehospital settings
Focuses on both civilian and military applications of DCR
Utilizes implementation science and learning healthcare system concepts to provide a scientific framework for education and training
Discusses non-trauma conditions such as obstetric bleeding and spontaneous intracranial bleeding

Zusammenfassung

"The textbook is intended to primarily serve as a resource for medical personnel who are confronted with the preclinical care of patients with life-threatening bleeding, especially in war and crisis areas. ... The authors of the textbook, Damage Control Resuscitation: Identification and Treatment of Life-Threatening Hemorrhage, should be congratulated for publishing a very important textbook in the field of trauma resuscitation that will surely develop into a standard textbook."
