Product Description

Product Description

For courses in Weapons of Mass Destruction, EMS, and Hazardous Materials.

Bombs and explosives, incendiary devices, nuclear weapons, and chemical/biological warfare agents are the most lethal and destructive devices known to man. These weapons of mass destruction (WMD) are an increasing concern for prehospital responders—and there is a growing need for medical information on the care of their victims. The only text on this subject written by EMS providers for EMS providers, this is a comprehensive, up-to-date treatment of a rapidly emerging field.

A Sign of the Times 23 Nov 2001
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Given the events of September 11, 2001, there is no better text to read on the emergency care of WMD than this book. Intended for prehospital audiences, this information-packed book might also appeal to doctors and nurses. It covers the nuclear, biological and chemical weapons threats, and it has several good chapters on conventional explosive threats and burns. The excellent integration of WMD care into standard civilian prehhospital practice reflects the backgrounds of the authors, both (according to the bios) of whom have extensive EMS experience.

A must read for ANY prehospital/EMS or emergency care provider, regardless of job or positiion. This stuff is too improtant not to be well-versed in, and this book is the right ticket.

Relevant to Terrorism Preparedness 27 Aug 2003
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This book is very relevant to today's prehospital environment. There is a wealth of information, especially considering the book predates 9/11. The sections on radiological and nuclear effects are second to none, and the chemical and biological sections are also good. The text has a strong section on conventional terror weapons and treatment of same. This would make a nice addition to any EMS library.

Not a good investment 20 Oct 2002
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
I was truly disappointed in this text. While it may be appropriate for military use, I found it difficult to tranport the information and tactics to a civilian environment.
