Book Description
This revised edition of NOLS Wilderness First Aid reflects the changing field of wilderness medicine. Designed as a field textbook for the NOLS wilderness first aid curriculum, it helps train outdoor leaders to prevent, recognize, and treat common medical problems and to stabilize a severely ill or injured patient for evacuation. A vital resource for outdoor enthusiasts, this book covers fundamental topics in first aid--patient assessment, shock, soft tissue injury, burns, fractures and dislocations, and chest, head, and abdominal injury. It explains how to handle environmental problems posed by heat, cold, water, altitude, and poisonous plants and animals. Also discussed are issues related to expedition medicine as well as leadership, teamwork, and communication for rescue groups. While risk can be minimized through good judgment, skills, and experience, being prepared for emergencies in the wild is an essential component of good outdoor leadership.

Excellent reference December 31, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is an excellent reference book for anyone with minimal training, especially in situations where it may be more than the usual <30 min to a well-staffed and stocked hospital.
Those in hurricane, tornado, wildfire, blizzard or earthquake prone areas should keep one of these near their First Aid kit. But they should read it a few times before they do.
Carry this on long expeditions August 1, 2007

This is the book I carry on long expeditions. I carry a little tiny book by Tilton on short trips, but on longer trips I like this book because it covers just about everything I know how to manage (I'm a WFR and I'm the local SAR Commander.)

This book is an outstanding reference for back-country situations EMS, Rangers, Leaders, guides or other trained personnel might find themselves in. Great book, highly recommended.
