Care in the Field for Victims of Weapons of War

From the workshop organized by the International Committee of the
Red Cross on "Pre-hospital care for war and mine wounded," this
report is designed for health professionals who care for people
wounded by weapons, who plan such care and who train others to
provide it. The report aims to clearly define and justify the elements of
first aid and treatment, to ensure that health professionals know what
constitutes, in the context of care in the field, the right treatment at
the right time and in the right place and to recommend priorities for
moving wounded people to a surgical hospital.
