Features: This book combines the experiences of medical care and first aid for astronauts during China's first manned space mission, along with the insights gained from decades of clinical medical practice, experimental research outcomes, and multiple emergency rescue missions at the base for major space incidents. It also references relevant domestic and international materials. The book primarily focuses on the causes of potential accidental injuries among astronauts and pioneers the "mobile portable ICU enhanced medical ward." It integrates a mobile life support and monitoring system throughout the on-site emergency care and the entire evacuation process for astronauts, extending life-saving treatments to the injury scene and embodying the emergency medical concept of "rapid response and multi-dimensional rescue." The content includes:
1. Potential accidental injuries among astronauts;
2. Characteristics and prevention of dimethylhydrazine and nitrogen tetroxide poisoning and damage from spacecraft propellants;
3. The effects of manned space activities and space environmental factors on astronaut physiological functions and their protection;
4. Prevention and treatment of injuries among astronauts;
5. On-site emergency rescue models for astronauts;
6. Anesthesia and blood transfusion support for surgical treatment of accidental injuries among astronauts;
7. Comprehensive treatment of MODS caused by composite injuries among astronauts.
