Procedural Medicine for Spaceflight is a collection of research and experiential data on procedural medicine and the needs of those involved in Space Medicine. Procedural medicine is a core competency for Space Medicine, but there is no single reference available which addresses the unique spaceflight environment or the medical techniques required to ensure success. The book is divided into six sections. Starting with the Introduction, then moving to Locations, Procedures, and Considerations; then Anesthesia and Pain Management; followed by Post Procedure Care and Other Considerations; and concluding with The Future. Each chapter is written by a specific subject matter expert. This book is intended for physicians, medical students, and medical researchers interested and/or training in space medicine. Secondarily, engineers and mission operators designing vehicles, mission concepts of operations, and medical devices will also find utility in this reference. Pharmacists, nurses, paramedics, and allied health professionals may also find this book useful.

Dr. Dana Levin is board certified in Aerospace and Emergency Medicine currently serving as the chief medical officer for Vast Space, a commercial company building artificial gravity space stations, and working clinically with the UC LOS ANGELES and UC IRVINE departments of emergency medicine. Before Vast Dr. Levin was as a physician with NASA’s Human Research Program Exploration Medical Capabilities Element and the assistant fellowship director for the Baylor College of Medicine - Massachusetts General Hospital Space Medicine Fellowship. He has extensive experience with austere environment medicine as the lead physician on scientific diving expeditions, high altitude expeditions, expeditions to Antarctica, and teaching courses in Colorado the deserts of the Western Unites States. As a researcher, Dr. Levin has published numerous papers on medical procedures in space, medical system development, medical risk assessment, and austere environment medical practice. He has also written textbook chapters on systems medicine for spaceflight. Dr. Tovy Kamine is a Trauma, Acute Care, and Critical Care Surgeon and Director of Emergency Surgery Services and Informatics Director of Surgical Clinical Documentation Integrity at Baystate Medical Center, and Assistant Professor of Surgery, Healthcare Delivery, and Population Science at the University of Massachusetts Chan Medical School-Baystate. He is a Fellow of both the American College of Surgeons and the Aerospace Medical Association. He is also the founder and first president of the Space Surgical Association and past Chair of the Associate Fellows Association of the Aerospace Medical Assocation. He now serves on the Executive Committee of the Space Medicine Association and the Treasurer for the Organization for Space Medicine Engineering and Design. Over the past decade he has published extensively in peer reviewed journals on the challenges, modifications, and necessity of invasive procedures in space flight. Dr. Michael Pohlen is an Assistant Professor of Clinical Radiology at the University of California, San Diego. He graduated summa cum laude with a Bachelor of Science in Environmental Geosciences from Texas A&M University. He earned his medical degree with High Honor at Baylor College of Medicine, where he completed the Space Medicine Pathway and was inducted into the Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Medical Society. He completed a residency in Diagnostic Radiology at Stanford University before continuing for completion of a dual fellowship. He has more than 25 research publications and presentations, with work focusing on artificial intelligence applications in thoracic imaging and the adaptation of imaging modalities for human spaceflight. He is a member of the Society of Thoracic Radiology, the American College of Radiology, and The Radiological Society of North America.
