註釋This book addresses relevant issues of the special physical, physiological and psychological stresses that are important in the flight environment. It describes, in detail, the conditions needing this form of transport, and how patients may be safely and efficiently carried. The growth in international tourism, and in particular air travel is reflected in a profusion of activity in the aeromedical transportation of those who have been injured or fallen ill while far from base. Prehospital medical care has also developed rapidly, with helicopters in use with many emergency services. (Other aviation medicine texts mostly deal with the care and occupational problems of aircrew). A very practical text, international in its approach, much of its content is devoted to clinical matters. Administration and organisation are also discussed, but are addressed from the standpoint of the clinical aeromedical escort. The text is suitable for medical, paramedical and nursing personnel and for those working in organizations whose duties include the transportation of the sick and injured by air. This second edition of Aeromedical Transportation: A Clinical Guide is a more accurate, succinct, relevant and referenced version of the first. Since the first edition was published in 1996, the concept of 'evidence-based medicine' has been accepted as essential in any book which endeavours to be the accepted knowledge base in its subject area. It is still the only book published anywhere in the world which is devoted entirely to the principles of aeromedical transport. As such, it has rightly become known as the sole reference for the industry. To maintain this credibility, the book has beeen further researched, totally corrected, updated and referenced. It has more international information, omitting the first edition's less useful information. The structure and chapter titles are broadly the same. New material includes chapters on the transport of intensive care patients, and medical emergencies/death in flight.
