Description
This Revised Third Edition is now updated to reflect the 2005 emergency cardiac care guidelines. The need for hazardous materials emergency
response has grown with the increased use of chemicals and the threat of terrorism. Designed for both the EMS field provider and first
receivers in the hospital setting, this important resource provides field recognition and management guidelines for hazardous materials
exposures and associated medical emergencies, including emergency care of exposed and contaminated patients. The 3rd edition has been
expanded to provide responders with the information necessary to identify the scene of a terrorist act involving the use of hazardous
materials, as well as triage procedures for chemical exposure and the management of a mass casualty incident.
