Abstract

"As societies become more complex and interconnected, the global risk for catastrophic disasters is increasing. Demand for expertise to mitigate the human suffering and damage these events cause is also high. A new field of disaster medicine is emerging, offering innovative approaches to optimize disaster management. Much of the information needed to create the foundation for this growing specialty is not objectively described or is scattered among multiple different sources. Now, for the first time, a coherent and comprehensive collection of scientific observations and evidence-based recommendations with expert contributors from around the globe is available in Koenig and Schultz's Disaster Medicine: Comprehensive Principles and Practices. This definitive work on Disaster Medicine identifies essential subject matter, clarifies nomenclature, and outlines necessary areas of proficiency for healthcare professionals handling mass casualty crises. It also describes in-depth strategies for the rapid diagnosis and treatment of victims suffering from blast injuries or exposure to chemical, biological, and radiological agents"--Provided by publisher.

Abstract

De afgelopen jaren heeft de traumatologie zich sterk ontwikkeld. De traumazorg in Nederland heeft een stevige, kwalitatief hoogwaardige en logische structuur die in menig ander Europees land nog ontbreekt. Met de moderne beeldvormende technieken is de traumaopvang enorm verbeterd. Preventie, nieuwe operatietechnieken en verbeterde nazorg dragen bij aan de kwaliteit. Een grotere transparantie van de Landelijke Traumaregistratie en verdere centralisatie van multitraumapatiënten en patiënten met complexe letsels zijn noodzakelijk. De zorg voor multitraumapatiënten is kosteneffectief; er is echter
