Book Description
Despite significant advances in medical technology (such as recognition of physiological derangements, use of topical bactericidal agents, and improved surgical techniques), the care of the thermally burned patient remains a constant challenge to the medical profession. Review of the mortality and morbidity from burn centers across the United States indicates that mortality is usually associated with failures of resuscitation, a significant inhalation injury accompanied by pulmonary insufficiency, or one of the different manifestations of sepsis in the burn patient. Systemic sepsis in the burn patient that is not due to nosocomial infections or pulmonary injury is usually associated with a colonized or infected burn wound. Burn wound sepsis in some degree is present in most burn wounds beyond the 5th day regardless of topical therapy. However, burn wound sepsis manifests itself only if the bacterial count exceeds 100,000 organisms per gram of tissue.

Book Description
Disaster Planning covers the proceedings of a symposium held at the Royal Naval Hospital Haslar, Gosport, Hants in October 10 and 11, 1974. The book focuses on deliberate actions to be carried out in the occurrence of a disaster. The selection first underscores planning on maritime, railway, and road traffic accidents. Discussions focus on control of an incident, multiple accident procedures, medical aspects of road traffic accidents, role of railway medical officers, railway staff action at an accident, local major disaster plans, and survivors and rescue. The manuscript then takes a look at nuclear accidents, civil disturbances, and major fires. Topics include types of major fires, management of casualties, public relations, decontamination, casualty handling, and public health aspects. The publication ponders on control at a scene of disaster, categorization of casualties, road transport and communications, reception and triage of casualties, and supplies. Concerns include drugs, blood, stretchers and blankets, action by officer in charge of division, and recovery stage of incident. The selection is a dependable source material for researchers interested in disaster preparedness.
