Whether a seasoned professional or a recent enthusiast in the outdoors, learning how to take care of unexpected injuries or illnesses is an essential skill. In remote locations where medical help is not immediately available, having an understanding of common injuries that can occur and ways in which they can be treated efficiently makes all the difference for survival.
From rocky mountain landscapes to the open sea, and encompassing the adverse weather of snow and ice, Emergency Care & Safety Institute’sWilderness First Aid in Remote Locations is a complete guide to treating injury in the most likely conditions you can face in the wilderness. The course and corresponding textbook teach you to recognise illness and injury and provide an understanding of the most current best practices. Wilderness First Aid covers a variety of potential hazards relevant to the wilderness, including snake bites and altitude illness, as well as other injuries such as burns and respiratory emergencies.
