THE TREATMENT OF HIGHWAY INJURY: AN INTERNATIONAL BIBLIOGRAPHY

THE EFFECTIVENESS OF AN EMERGENCY MEDICAL SYSTEM MUST DEPEND UPON BOTH THE TIMELINESS OF RESPONSE WITHIN THE SYSTEM, AND THE ADEQUACY OF PROFESSIONAL CARE OFFERED BY THE SYSTEM. THE HIGHWAY SAFETY RESEARCH INSTITUTE HAS DEVELOPED A MATHEMATICAL MODEL OF A RECOVERY SYSTEM RELATING THESE VARIOUS FACTORS. THE PRESENT BIBLIOGRAPHY WAS PREPARED IN ORDER TO PROVIDE REAL DATA TO THIS MODEL. LITERATURE WAS SOUGHT WHICH REPORTED ON MULTIPLE CASES OF TRAUMA FROM EITHER THE FIELD TREATMENT (AMBULANCE) OR HOSPITAL POINT OF VIEW. ANNOTATIONS, SUBJECT AND AUTHOR INDEXES ARE PROVIDED FOR APPROXIMATELY 650 REFERENCES. /HSL/
