Ems In Crime Scene by Albino Manuel Gomes, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

EMS in Crime Scene: Role of Medical Emergency Teams in Forensic Casesaddresses the different settings that occur in pre-hospital environments, along with the medical-forensic relevance surrounding evidence preservation. The book identifies the main difficulties in this subject to promote proper intervention. The main role of EMS will always be medical assistance, but it is also their job to ensure their safety, the safety of the victim and the protection of the local scene. This means of preserving evidence, even though it is an ancillary activity and is not meant to compromise care of the victim, is an important role of EMS. The objective of preserving where a crime has occurred is, from the outset, to keep the environment as unchanged as possible, that is, not to move and/or subtract objects from their original position (even if it is a firearm) and not to add elements that were not present at the scene, such as shoe trail marks, earth, hair strands, cigarette butts, etc. Presents how to identify and preserve a crime sceneCovers how to avoid contaminating the victim or crime scene evidenceReviews how to document the facts in a way that protects both the victim and the medical emergency team | Ems In Crime Scene by Albino Manuel Gomes, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
