Be prepared for water emergencies If you are responsible for the
welfare of those who spend time in or around the water--as an
aquatic manager, scuba diving instructor, firefighter, law
enforcement officer, or emergency rescue worker--or if you're a
water sport enthusiast yourself, then you need to know how to
prevent and manage aquatic accidents. This potentially lifesaving
guide shows you how.
The only book of its kind, "Aquatic Rescue and Safety" provides
detailed information on how to identify, treat, and prevent all
types of submersion injuries, from drowning, hypothermia, and
cramps to injuries of the heart, lungs, head, and spinal cord. It
also contains special sections on dealing with watercraft-related
and scuba diving injuries. Written by a veteran scuba diving
instructor and water-rescue instructor trainer, the book presents
the latest, most effective rescue and first aid
procedures--techniques proven to save lives--for all water-related
injuries.
The book also examines the causes of submersion injuries to help
you understand how to prevent them. It provides specific steps that
you can take to prevent accidents, and it gives you the tools you
need to promote safety on the water, including tips for people who
have children with them in aquatic settings.
"Aquatic Rescue and Safety" is ideal as a manual for water
rescue training, as a resource for individual aquatic recreation
enthusiasts, and as a reference for emergency preparedness. Whether
you are simply an avid boater or swimmer or a member of a water
rescue team, this book will help you acquire the knowledge and
skills to prevent water-related injuries and save lives.
