“The textbook is intended to primarily serve as a resource for medical personnel who are confronted with the preclinical care of patients with life-threatening bleeding, especially in war and crisis areas. … The authors of the textbook, Damage Control Resuscitation: Identification and Treatment of Life-Threatening Hemorrhage, should be congratulated for publishing a very important textbook in the field of trauma resuscitation that will surely develop into a standard textbook.” (Benedikt Zujalovic and Sebastian Hafner, Anesthesia & Analgesia, Vol. 130 (5), May, 2020)
