Wilderness Emergency CarePaperback, 12 March 2019

In wilderness situations where resources are limited and medical care is not immediately available, responders need a large repertory of skills to copy with emergencies. This guide is intended as a field reference for responders dealing with the most commonly encountered injuries and conditions. NASAR administers credentialing evaluations and testing programs that meet or exceed CSA, ASTM, NFPA and FEMA standards. Developed by Steve Donelan and NASAR's education division in collaboration with Waterford Press, this easy-to-use guide contains supporting illustrations and is intended as a field reference for responders dealing with the most commonly encountered injuries and conditions. This lightweight folding guide is waterproof to withstand rigorous use in the field and fits easily in your pocket. Topics include wound care, injuries, emergency situation, nature hazards, and outdoor exposure risks. Great resource for SAR technicians and first responders as well as campers, hikers and outdoor enthusiasts. Made in the USA, proceeds from the sale of this guide contribute to NASAR's ongoing education and training programs.
