OFFICIAL WILDERNESS FIRST-AID GUIDE, by Wayne Merry for St. John Ambulance, provides comprehensive, practical training for managing medical emergencies in remote locations where professional help is probably going to be delayed.
It emphasizes improvisation, environmental management, and extended patient care, covering trauma, environmental hazards, and evacuation tactics. Detailing numerous situations one may face in the outdoors, from exposure, animal bites and stings, and gunshot wounds to broken bones, burns, and emergency childbirth, this comprehensive guide points out the differences between wilderness and "urban" first-aid principles and contains valuable information not found in household first-aid guides. Ready for the outdoor backpacks with a thick glossy cover, rounded corners, and 130 illustrations plus glossary.
