Mass
medical deployments to large events, such as music festivals or
sporting events, are increasing in number, size, and complexity. This
textbook provides guidance and direction for rational, effective, and
practical medical management of mass gathering events for medical
leaders. This is the first authoritative text on mass event medicine,
filling a much-needed gap in a large and important area of the
specialty. An international group of contributors introduce the
specialty and cover topics such as general deployment, staffing,
equipment, and resources, moving on to more complex issues such as the
business aspect of mass gathering medicine and the legal implications.
There are also practical chapters on specific types of events and
adverse events such as terrorism, severe weather, and civil
disobedience. An invaluable text for all healthcare professionals
planning for and attending mass events, particularly EMS professionals,
large event planners and administrators, and law enforcement and
security personnel.
