In this episode we will look at the recent changes to the newly revised second edition of ABC of Prehospital Emergency Medicine. We will examine some of the updates to PHEM covered in the book and the recent evidence-based practice and expert opinion that encompasses the PHEM training curriculum. We will examine the three main domains that the updated edition addresses which are operational, clinical and system considerations of PHEM. Other aspects of the conversation will cover updates to monitoring and ultrasound, recent changes to prehospital management of medical, trauma and psychiatric emergencies. We will also examine changes to the considerations in mass casualty and chemical, biological, radiation, and nuclear incidents.
