Reviews

'Caring for critically unwell and injured patients in a pre-hospital environment is extremely difficult. Healthcare professionals undertaking this work must embrace dynamic risk, meticulous attention to detail and be able to perform in the most challenging of circumstances. When applied to a paediatric population this cognitive burden increases, requiring a huge amount of additional knowledge, skills and behaviours to overcome. This book expertly describes the challenges and solutions in an array of complex paediatric cases. It is essential reading for any healthcare professional who provides paediatric critical care and moves children from A to B.'
