The guide clinicians can rely on to deliver quality healthcare under even themost challenging field conditions, Improvised Medicine is written for healthcare providers treating patients during a crisis situation or in a primitive environment, for diseases and disorders with which they have little or no hands-on experience . The book begins with situational analysis and basic needs in acrisis, then moves on to cover specific triage, diagnosis, and stabilization efforts. It then provides medical interventions for surgical and non-surgical problems. Throughout the book, real examples are given and improvisations thathave worked well in the past are illustrated with simple line diagrams. Clinicians are taught how to think creatively to deliver quality healthcare when the normal tools are not available. An appendix at the end of the book shows readers how they can apply this information to disaster response planning in any setting.
