Prehospital and Disaster Medicine remains committed to the worldwide development and improvement of emergency and disaster medicine. Prehospital and Disaster Medicine offers a forum for scientific work, experience, and technology in disaster management and planning as well as emergency care rendered at mass gatherings, disasters, and catastrophic events. This inexpensive journal seeks to improve the knowledge and techniques of resuscitation, life support, and the relief of suffering. The articles are intended to minimize the health impact of future disasters through the retrospective analysis of past disasters. Contributors in the reviewed issues, who came from countries around the world, wrote to foster and improve prehospital care to single individual emergencies and mass casualty situations.
Few journals cover disaster medicine.
Prehospital and Disaster Medicine therefore fills a niche in the field of mass emergency medical services. The international editorial board has members who are clinical physicians, academicians, and emergency medical services administrators. Each issue contains information for authors. The statement indicating peer review for submissions can only be found in the Advertising Guidelines, and it does not describe a specific process. Contents consist of original research studies, special reports, theoretical discussions, case reports, and comprehensive reviews.
