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 the specialty of Space Medicine, but there is no single reference available which addresses the unique spaceflight environment or the medical techniques required to ensure success.
This book is divided into six sections. Starting with the Introduction, then moving to Procedural Considerations, Anesthesia and Pain Management; Post Procedure Care; Other Considerations; and concluding with The Future of Procedural Medicine in Space. Each chapter is written by experienced subject matter experts in relevant disciplines. This book is intended for physicians, medical students, engineers, mission planners, and medical researchers interested in and/or training in Space Medicine.
