Considerations for Analgesia and Sedation in Austere Environments

The US military has designated Prolonged Field Care as a subset of prehospital medicine. The Joint Trauma System has published a number of Clinical Practice Guidelines specifically for use in austere settings. These peer-reviewed guidelines can be used as a basis for developing a comprehensive strategy for patient care for austere medical practice.

Biography: Sean Keenan

After retirement from the military in 2018, he continues to consult and teach, developing educational curricula specifically for prehospital practitioners in austere environments.
