    Pediatric Tactical Emergency Casualty Care - Rogue Medical

    The information in this book is meant to supplement, not replace, proper emergency medical training. Like any emergency response involving speed, equipment, skills and environmental factors, operating as an emergency responder poses some inherent risk. The authors and publisher advise readers to take full responsibility for their safety and know their limits. Before practicing the skills described in this book, be sure that your equipment is well maintained, and do not take risks beyond your level of certification, experience, aptitude, training, and comfort.

    DEDICATION

    Dedicated to those who teach, protect and serve the pediatric population and the sacrifices they make when natural and man-made disasters occur.

    ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
