Description
DESCRIPTION OF THE GUIDE TO FIRST AID IN ISOLATED SITUATIONS (REMINDER FOR):
The Memento for First Aid in Isolated Situations is, like its “colleague” for degraded situations, a book in 15X11cm format, spiral-bound at the top, made up of 120 solid pages that are resistant to rain/perspiration.
It is divided into 4 main parts identified by a color code: GENERAL; (S)MARC2H2(E); AND EVERYTHING ELSE; KITS & PHARMACO.
After setting the context and the issues of isolated situations, the memento guides the reader through the decisions to be made and what equipment to use to transform decisions into effective actions. The protocol for caring for seriously injured people is developed in detail, then most medical and environmental emergencies are covered.
The book therefore covers massive hemorrhages, diarrhea, frostbite, heat stroke and lightning strikes, as well as all the specificities linked to the evacuation of the wounded far from any modernity.
The last part is quite extensive and goes into detail, in the form of checklists of what to take as medical kits and medications to go far from any medical help.
Finally, the memento closes with practical and comprehensive reminders on the actions to take to effectively save a victim in this context.
While this cheat sheet doesn't tell you how to do things, it does remind you when to do them, in what order, and with what equipment.
Intended for anyone with some basic knowledge of first aid, this field guide aims to bring together all the information needed to make the right decisions and organize first aid for one or more victims in an isolated environment or far from any medical help. Sequenced in chronological order, it summarizes all the actions to be taken to prepare for departure, treat an injured person, starting with vital emergencies and ending with secondary problems.
When and with what to treat massive hemorrhage? What to do with an unconscious victim? What kit to provide? What to do in case of snake bite or heat stroke? How to rehydrate a person? How to compose your personal medicine cabinet? What to do in case of chest pain or acute mountain sickness? How long to perform CPR in an isolated situation?
Intended for field professionals, travelers and adventurers, humanitarian workers and outdoor enthusiasts, this reminder is an essential tool for being far away, but prepared!
