Manage hiking, camping, backpacking, and outdoor emergencies
There’s never a good place for a medical emergency, but some
locations are much worse than others. If you are out in nature, far
from help, when the unthinkable happens, you must be prepared.
Outdoor Medicine is your handy, portable, easy-to-understand guide
that helps you to follow the correct course of action. Whether
it’s illness, injury, or life-or-death conditions, author Patrick
Brighton, M.D., FACS, is there to lend his experience in assessing
and managing backcountry emergencies. The author’s expertise—as
a board-certified trauma surgeon and a mountaineer, climber,
kayaker, and member of a mountain rescue team—has allowed him to
develop concise descriptions of the diagnosis, treatment options,
and evacuation strategies for several common medical emergencies.
This tabbed booklet is organized by type of injury, so you can
quickly reference the information you need to evaluate and treat
the condition. There’s no need to wade through time-consuming
data that you won’t use. The easily digestible instructions help
you to assess the situation and decide how to proceed, with tips on
what to do and what not to do. The guide also takes into
consideration the variable challenges you might face: limited
resources, weather, victim/rescuer capabilities, and evacuation
options. With strategies based on the latest research from the
American College of Surgeons, the American Heart Association, and
Dr. Brighton’s decades of experience, you can be certain that
you’re getting the best advice available. So get this
pocket-sized guide to outdoor medicine, and hope that you never
have to use it—but take comfort in knowing that it’s there if
you do.
