Considering geographic and cultural perspectives in trauma care, Prehospital Trauma Care explores:

the hierarchy of the prehospital trauma team and crew-resource management
features of initial patient care from advanced airway management to state-of-the-art fluid resuscitation and prevention of hypothermia, including provision of adequate analgesia
specialized approaches to blunt and penetrating trauma
treating special groups such as the traumatized child and the entrapped patient, as well as specific situations, including chemical injuries and hypothermia
transport and extraordinary challenges such as rural areas, mass attendance events, terrorism, and VIP protection
and much more

Promoting an efficient trauma chain of survival and a secure continuum of care, Prehospital Trauma Care is essential reading for emergency medicine and critical care physicians, anesthesiologists, surgeons, pediatricians, sports medicine specialists, air and ground transport nurses, paramedics, emergency medical technicians, and all related medical specialists with an interest in trauma care.
