This book is for amateur athletes, youth sports coaches, parents, and teachers who are called upon to deal immediately with sports injuries soon after they occur. Nearly 8 million sports injuries occur in the United States each year; about 50% of them occur in children aged 14 and younger in school and organized sports and other recreational activities. Despite the type of sports injury or how it happened, healing and returning to sports activity are facilitated by applying specific first aid measures as soon as possible after an injury occurs. This book describes how to manage the most common sports injuries until competent medical attention can be obtained; the book most definitely is not intended to replace competent medical care. The book is authored by Stanley H. Inkelis, M.D., Professor of Pediatrics and Emergency Medicine, UCLA School of Medicine and Eric Golanty, Ph.D., Professor Emeritus of Health and Wellness at Las Positas College and author of How to Prevent and Help Heal Running and Other Sports Injuries and Health and Wellness.

Dr Dorothy Shepherd offers a guide to the medicinal treatment of first aid. For years she followed obediently the recognised, well-troden paths of antiseptic and aseptic wound treatment, with little or no medicinal aid, other than those already mentioned. She then had the opportunity to study and apply first-aid methods in surgical outpatients, private practice and a munition factory in the First World War and the later a minor ailment clinic. She gave up entirely the old methods and with the help of a devoted staff applied these comparatively new homoeopathic ideas which have proved successful.

This manual meets the first aid training needs of individual service members. Because medical personnel will not always be readily available, the nonmedical service members must rely heavily on their own skills and knowledge of life-sustaining methods to survive on the integrated battlefield. This publication outlines both self-aid and aid to other service members (buddy aid). More importantly, it emphasizes prompt and effective action in sustaining life and preventing or minimizing further suffering and disability. First aid is the emergency care given to the sick, injured, or wounded before being treated by medical personnel. The term first aid can be defined as "urgent and immediate lifesaving and other measures, which can be performed for casualties by nonmedical personnel when medical personnel are not immediately available." Nonmedical service members have received basic first aid training and should remain skilled in the correct procedures for giving first aid. This manual is directed to all service members. The procedures discussed apply to all types of casualties and the measures described are for use by both male and female service members. This publication is in consonance with the following North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) International Standardization Agreements (STANAGs) and American, British, Canadian, and Australian Quadripartite Standardization Agreements (QSTAGs).
