A Guide to Accident Response & First Aid Care
This completely revised and updated 5th edition gives you all the latest information on assessing and treating conditions you may encounter in the wild, from serious injuries such as dislocations and fractures to unexpected major illness to weather-related problems. With quick- reference checklists of symptoms and procedures, recommendations on first aid kits and equipment, and more, 'Mountaineering First Aid' will prepare you for anything in the backcountry. Other new material: prevention of infection, splinting, high altitude problems, new & revised diagrams, a much-expanded index, and cross-references in the text.
