Synopsis

Procedural Medicine for Spaceflight is a collection of research and experiential data on procedural medicine and the needs of those involved in Space Medicine. Procedural medicine is a core competency for Space Medicine, but there is no single reference available which addresses the unique spaceflight environment or the medical techniques required to ensure success. The book is divided into six sections. Starting with the Introduction, then moving to Locations, Procedures, and Considerations; then Anesthesia and Pain Management; followed by Post Procedure Care and Other Considerations; and concluding with The Future. Each chapter is written by a specific subject matter expert. This book is intended for physicians, medical students, and medical researchers interested and/or training in space medicine. Secondarily, engineers and mission operators designing vehicles, mission concepts of operations, and medical devices will also find utility in this reference. Pharmacists, nurses, paramedics, and allied health professionals may also find this book useful.
