Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wilderness First Aid Courses have been taught the same way for five decades. The course consists of a two-day, sixteen hour cram session. There is too much information to remember and the Wilderness First Aid schools do not provide any resources to enable graduates to review what they learned. In a study of students attending Wilderness First Aid courses, it was found that just four months after graduating, no member of study group were able to successfully pass a complete WFA skills assessment. Wilderness First Aid courses using traditional text books do not provide you with the knowledge retention resources to help you remember what you learned. Wilderness First Aid Made Easy is a textbook like no other. We transformed hundreds of pages of text into intuitive, easy-to-understand workflow diagrams. The workflow diagrams walk you step-by-step through the Primary and Secondary Assessment and empower you to identify and treat illnesses and injuries. You have probly seen and used workflow diagrams before. Workflow diagrams are visual representations of tasks, usually with arrows, shapes, labels and decision points. These diagrams illustrate the steps that a person takes to solve a problem or resolve an issue. Whether you are a student of the School of FIrst Aid or another wilderness medical school, you will find this book to be invaluable. This book will reduce note taking and stress allowing you concentrate on the presentations and demonstrations. During your skills practice, this book will allow you to practice the patient care process perfectly, building your knowledge retention, muscle memory and confidence. During your two-year certification, this book will be an excellent review tool that you can use to keep your knowledge current.

Download or read book The Wilderness First Aid Handbook written by Grant S. Lipman and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2013-08-13 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Wilderness First Aid Handbook is a handy, quick-reference guide easily accessible with basic wilderness first aid knowledge, but it does not require advanced degrees or experience with medicine and prehospital care. Recognizing that certain knowledge and procedures are outside the scope of a layperson’s training, Dr. Grant Lipman limits the use of technical terms and advanced techniques that may be unfamiliar to some readers or beyond their comfort zone. This system-based, easy-to-follow guide assists the first aid provider when encountering most wilderness emergencies, from cold and heat concerns and blister treatments to high altitude illness and lightning injury prevention—and much more. Typically the most challenging decision in the wilderness environment is when to evacuate a sick or potentially sick person, and as such, each section has detailed decision-making steps to inform you of when to be concerned and when to get out. This guidance is based upon the recent evidence-based consensus statement published by the Wilderness Medical Society on the scope of practice of wilderness first aid. Filled with original, full-color artwork illustrating the techniques and procedures described and with internal-spiral binding and waterproof pages handy for travel into extreme environments, The Wilderness First Aid Handbook is a must-have for every back pocket or backpack.
