  • Title: Trauma anesthesia for disasters. Anything, anytime, anywhere.
    Author: Grande CM, Baskett PJ, Donchin Y, Wiener M, Bernhard WN.
    Journal: Crit Care Clin; 1991 Apr; 7(2):339-61. PubMed ID: 2049643.
    Abstract:
    Field anesthesia can be practiced safely and effectively but requires special training to acquire familiarity with the techniques. Because field anesthesia may be required even in sophisticated countries for entrapment situations, skill should be maintained by practicing the appropriate techniques on a regular basis. Field anesthetic techniques are not second rate methods; they are just different. Although improvisation in the disaster situation has merit, it is not the place for experimenting with new and untried techniques.
