Review: "Weapons of Mass Destruction: Emergency Care explores the new and rapidly developing area of domestic preparedness against terrorist attacks using weapons of mass destruction (WMD). WMD include bombs and explosives, incendiary devices, nuclear weapons, and chemical and biological warfare agents." "Weapons of Mass Destruction: Emergency Care is the number one reference for first responders, EMTs, paramedics, and other medical personnel involved in the field care of WMD incidents. Physicians, PAs, nurses, and other health professionals will also appreciate the sophistication and scope of the book and its relevance to disaster medicine and hospital care. This book is specifically designed to help the prehospital responder cope with the medical effects of WMD using both basic and advanced life-support techniques. It addresses all the important aspects of prehospital care for the unique injuries suffered from WMD."--BOOK JACKET.
