This book is not a learned treatise. Its purpose is to render
practical instruction to all those physicians. surgeons, adminis
trators, and paramedical personnel who have to act in war or
disaster situations. As a manual it is in no way a substitute for
existing detailed and specialized texts on the various aspects of
trauma surgery and management: rather have we attempted to collate
the most essenlial knowledge required to organize and afTord
medical aid whenever civilian or military disaster strikes. The man
on the spot is hardly ever a specialist, hence the need for a imple
s general manual of instruction. The organizational aspects of
medical services in war are very similar to those required for
coping with a disaster: indeed the military are often called to
cope with civilian disasters. Our duty is to be prepared, so as not
to lose life and limb for lack of foresight. There are repetitions
in the book for which no apologies are made, since they always
concern invaluable knowledge. The chapters are organized to afford
an understanding of the organization of medical services, the cause
of wounds and trau matic disease, and the pathophysiological
processes resulting from the different kinds of trauma. The
management of treating casualties is divided in each section into
the three basic eche lons: on site (at the actual place of
wounding), at the medical (battalion) aid station and in the field
or base hospital."
