This conveniently sized guide is an invaluable point of reference for all who travel and take part in outdoor, wilderness and mountain activities. Written by doctors with a wealth of wilderness specific experience, it provides a comprehensive summary of wilderness first aid and medicine - that is, managing accident or illness in remote locations without immediate access to help - giving you confidence in your ability to deal with any situation that may arise. All topics are clearly referenced and easy to find, with chapters covering preparation, prevention, accident protocol, diagnosis, treatment and evacuation. From life-threatening emergencies to broken bones and sprains, infectious diseases, food poisoning, envenomation and respiratory problems, the book sets out all the crucial protocol and procedures to follow. It covers a wide range of different environments, including high altitude, desert, polar, tropical and marine, dealing with risk management and a variety of different scenarios. In addition, suggestions for first-aid kits and lists of medications and antibiotics (with dosage) can be found in the appendices.

Synopsis Expedition and Wilderness Medicine by : Gregory H. Bledsoe
"With an increase in visits to remote and dangerous locations around the world, the number of serious and fatal injuries and illnesses associated with these expeditions has markedly increased. Thus, so has the need for medical personnel trained specifically to handle the health risks that are faced when far removed from professional care resources." "Expedition and Wilderness Medicine covers everything a prospective field physician or medical consultant needs to prepare for when beginning an expedition. Divided into three parts "Expedition Planning," "Expeditions in Unique Environments," and "Illness and Injuries on Expeditions," - this unique book covers everything that the expedition physician needs to know."--BOOK JACKET.
