Wilderness and Remote First Aid Emergency Reference Guide and Pocket Guide

The Wilderness and Remote First Aid Emergency Reference Guide and Pocket Guide is the official guide for the Red Cross Wilderness and Remote First Aid course. This guide is the most current version, revised in September, 2014. The course is based on the 2010 Boy Scouts of America Wilderness First Aid Curriculum and Doctrine Guidelines, and helps course participants learn how to respond to more than 25 first aid emergencies – during times when help may be delayed. It's a great resource for scouts, outdoor enthusiasts, or anyone who works in a remote environment. The Guide and Pocket Guide are not only used during the course, but can serve as important emergency references after training is complete.

Topics covered include:

• Altitude Illnesses
• Hypothermia
• Shock
• Heart Attack
• Poisoning
• Snow Blindness
• Wounds
• Infection, and many more

The accompanying Pocket Guide is a handy 8-panel (front and back), fold-out first aid reference guide that has been specifically designed for use in the field. It is: compact and lightweight, fits easily into a pocket or a backpack, and is waterproof and tear-resistant.

The Wilderness and Remote First Aid Emergency Reference Guide and Pocket Guide also includes skills sheets for performing CPR, and responding to choking victims.
