The Field Trauma Exam: Your Guide To Quickly & Accurately Assessing Injuries In An Emergency, When Far From Help, With Little Or No Gear. - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

The sole purpose of our guides is to make the reader more capable in the field. To take you one step closer to being able to serve as your own first responder, should disaster strike when help is far away. In this guide, we are discussing field trauma exams. In an emergency, the ability to quickly and accurately assess an injured patient may mean the difference between life and death.

Versions of these exams are performed by EMTs, Paramedics, Combat Medics, and other first responders to assess their patients at the scene of emergencies and during transport to medical facilities. To conduct a field exam while unsupported, you must learn to use your knowledge, training, patient feedback, observation skills, and senses to both ask the right questions and get the right answers. This is why, with the help of this guide, you will learn to turn your knowledge and senses into all the equipment you need to assess whether an injury is likely to be mild, moderate, or severe. This is not a typical "survival guide" written by someone with little field experience trying to cash in on a popular topic. This is the real thing.

Throughout this guide you will be introduced to the same techniques used by the professionals; how to take a full set of vital statistics, how to perform a rapid head-to-toe exam, how to perform a spinal assessment, wound and burn assessments, how to quickly recognize the onset of shock, and so much more.

Though this book is essential for anyone who enjoys the outdoors (hikers, hunters, bicyclists, climbers, etc), it is highly recommended for any head of household, coach, or teacher; and others who have people's well-being in their hands on a regular basis.
