Modern medical aid in addition to the above subject matter, involving a wide range of emergency outside the hospital, under the care of medical transportation and disaster conditions, the hospital emergency room, hospital for various types of disasters and emergencies of critical care treatment, poisoning rescue science, science and other traffic accident rescue aspects. Such as airport rescue medicine that studies the occurrence of an aircraft in an emergency situation inside and outside the airport, or does not involve an aircraft emergency, first aid personnel, treatment, care and so on. And general emergency medicine is different, airport rescue medicine must study involving aircraft in emergency situations (outside air accidents, etc.) and the aircraft is no emergency situation (fire, earthquake, etc.) under the conditions of the rescue features. So modern medicine and rescue disaster medicine must focus beyond scientific issues, such as the need to understand the airport emergency plan, timely, orderly and efficient airport into a state of emergency from normal activities, especially should master the basic framework of the airport rescue plan and content, which includes master distress survival method, which seek to survive and be protected places, seeking food and water to sustain life, to find the road to survive; timely and full control of the injury, hope to establish a firm to survive the heart and so on. Similarly, for flood control and flood prevention and rescue have medical problems, to environmental medicine, preventive medicine, health relief to learn to be integrated.
