This handbook is intended for military and civilian personnel undertaking emergency treatment of casualties from all forms of conflict. The emphasis is on safe, practical intervention during the early phases after injury, for example: Battlefield Advanced Trauma Life Support, damage control surgery, anaesthesia, intensive care, analgesia, wound management, burns and prevention of infection. In addition to advice on the operative management of systematic trauma, there are chapters on triage, coping with major incidents and complicating factors such as tropical diseases, heat and cold injury and psychiatric problems. The text has been fully revised and replaces the Field Surgery Pocket Book published by HMSO in 1981.
