Abstract
Maxillofacial and otolaryngology/head and neck surgery health-care professionals play a vital role in field hospitals due to their expertise in caring for acute trauma care patients and treating emergent life-threatening conditions; that is, airway injuries and head and neck infections. In this chapter, we review common conditions and injuries treated by this team. The large volume of the expected patients presenting with various related conditions make the presence of the otolaryngologist/head and neck surgeon extremely valuable.
