Abstract :
This work is a book prepared to ensure that nurses, health staff, paramedics, physicians and surgeons are trained to perform their profession and better assist nearby civilians during wartime operations. Fundamentally, it contains life-protection and organ-protection procedures. In addition, it explains how to organize medical services provided in the field during the wartime. This work, which is beneficial even for the experienced surgeons, describes how to operate in locations where medical supplies are limited and the human population suffers major injuries. For instance, details of damage control surgery which has been gaining prominence in recent years, the concept of modern hypotensive resuscitation and certain details of bodily response to trauma on a cellular level are also explained in this work. One of the features that distinguish this book is the fact that both the editors and authors have gained relevant experience in combat zones.
