Description

This quick-reference, easy-to-follow guide makes essential wilderness medical knowledge easily accessible when you need it. Venturing into the wilderness involves a level of medical risk that traditional first aid doesn’t cover. This system-based, easy-to-follow guide assists the first aid provider when encountering most wilderness emergencies, from cold and heat concerns and blister treatments to high altitude illness and lightning injury prevention—and much more. Written specifically for the layman, Dr. Grant Lipman limits the use of technical terms and advanced techniques. Each section features detailed decision-making steps to inform you of when to be concerned and when evacuation is necessary. Filled with full-color artwork illustrating the techniques and procedures described, The Wilderness First Aid Handbook is a must-have for anyone venturing into the great outdoors.
