Description

This edited collection brings together an international panel of experts to present the basics of terror medicine. The book opens with a discussion of the definition of terror medicine and makes a case for it as a vital and growing discipline. Key issues of training, response, and coordination are introduced and fully discussed. The text addresses questions about hospital preparedness, gives an overview of response strategies for chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and explosive events, and lays out strategies for coping with specific types of injury (multiple projectile, burns, crushing) as well as pediatric issues. The book also deals with the aftermath of the terrorist attack and offers commentary on forensics concerns, the psychological issues and community needs that might arise in the wake of an attack, and touches upon ethical issues the physician may encounter.
