Casualty management is discussed in a range of contexts, including earthquakes, tsunamis, floods, radiation incidents, transportation disasters, terror attacks, and combat situations. Organizational aspects are addressed, general treatment principles are documented in detail, and the management of a variety of orthopedic injuries is described with the aid of numerous illustrations. The book will serve as an invaluable source of practical knowledge for a broad spectrum of medical and other staff, including emergency personnel, orthopedic and trauma surgeons, general practitioners, medical students, and professionals working for the military, government bodies, and NGOs
