Description
Now in its second edition, this revision of the classic bestseller maintains its systematic approach to rescue operations. The text treats vehicle rescue in terms of its component parts, each "phase" building on those that precede it and leading into those that follow. From key preparation in designing and equipping the unit, training the crew, and managing incident scene hazards, to gaining access, disentangling, and packaging the patients, readers will be taken through all the essential techniques with step-by-step instructions divided into 12 phases. This pioneering approach to presenting the information has enabled three decades of readers to save thousands of people from needless pain, crippling injuries, and death.
