Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Illustrated Guide of Aquatic Rescue Techniques. Rescue operations are by definition an unpredictable set of events (surroundings, ocean conditions, victims, resources, rescue equipment, service provider, etc.), all with different variables that by itself or combined make rescue possible. Regardless of appropriate training and the usage of appropriate equipment, water rescue and subsequent extraction are never linear procedures. Each situation and victim is inherently different, and so, adjustments need to be made each time. Quite often, lifeguard skills develop from an accumulative on-the-job experience. Initial understanding and awareness of environmental conditions, physical training, rescue techniques and proficient communication skills, are key competences. Further understanding of rescue techniques and medical sciences, life-saving equipment, environmental conditions, multi-victim scenarios, operational procedures, legal issues, entities involved in rescue operations, and in-water proficiency, are usually a matter of years on the job practice and training. Lifeguards, firefighters, mountain rescue, first responders, combat casualty care and ambulance personnel are involved in rescue operations and deal with emergencies on a regular basis assembling experience. It was this know-how, training and analysis, gathered from several emergency practices and services that led to the development of such rescue techniques. This work is the result of an applied design research, devised to communicate a set of procedures and recommendations effectively to a specific audience to help save lives.

Download or read book White Water Safety and Rescue written by Franco Ferrero and published by Pesda Press. This book was released on 2006 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: White water safety and rescue for canoeists, kayakers and rafters. A completely revised new edition now in full colour throughout. You can find presentation resources of the photos and illustrations below. The writing of this book started when I tried to put some notes together as course notes for the safety and rescue courses I was running at Plas y Brenin. It soon became clear what a huge topic it is and in sheer frustration I explained to a friend that I would have to write a book to cover it properly. His answer was, "Why don't you?" This is the result. I hope you find it enjoyable and informative. What's new in the 2nd Edition? Full colour and new photos throughout. The text has been completely revised and numerous small but significant improvements have been made. The principles of safety and rescue have been unified and the mneumonic CLAP adopted. This is to make it easier to remember them and fall in line with current practice in the teaching of white water safety. The rescue section has been reorganized to fit in more closely with the TRTTG 'low to high risk' model. The rafting sections have been completely rewritten by Geraint Rowlands. The chapter 'Planning a Descent' has been extended to cover factors to be considered when travelling abroad. One-handed signals as used by Paul O'Sullivan in his chapter in the BCU Canoe and Kayak Handbook have been adopted.
