This volume highlights the people and scientific developments in
military medicine through the ages, concentrating on medical
advances that changed both warfare and societies at home. Thanks to
advances in field medicine and improved mobility and efficiency of
medical units, the death rate of soldiers injured during battle has
dramatically declined in the last 100 years. Nowadays, with forward
medical stations operating close to battle lines and medical
transports (ground and air) at hand, injured soldiers survive their
battle wounds. Military Medicine: From Ancient Times to the 21st
Century provides expert coverage of the key role medical advances
and practices have played in the evolution of warfare, and how many
of those advances and practices have been put to work saving and
improving civilian lives as well. Military Medicine surveys the
development of military medicine from its prehistoric origins
through modern threats and practice. That coverage is followed by
over 200 of alphabetically organized entries with special emphasis
placed on those areas with the most dramatic applications to
civilian medicine, including triage and trauma management,
treatment for infections, emergency surgical procedures, and more.
