Pre-hospital emergency medicine

Abstract

This chapter contains 15 questions that encompass all of the important areas of pre-hospital care, with detailed explanations. Although it is unlikely that many students will have encountered pre-hospital medicine directly, it is likely that they will encounter patients who have received timely pre-hospital care. An understanding of the therapies, clinical decision-making, and emergent scenarios faced by doctors working in pre-hospital emergency medicine (PHEM) is therefore vital. Unique to this series, questions are rated by difficulty and are cross-referenced to the eleventh edition of Oxford Handbook of Clinical Specialties to track revision progress and revise effectively.
