The SOLO Field Guide to Wilderness First Aid, Beyond the Golden Hour, Fifth Edition, is the textbook that accompanies the two day course of the same name. The Wilderness First Aid (WFA) course was created out of the direct experience of the founders of SOLO, the famous outdoor school that teaches wilderness medicine all over the world, and is designed for the outdoor enthusiast. Whether hiker, climber, skier, kayaker, canoeist, or sailor, this course is for the adventurous who may find themselves away from immediate help and may have to rely on their own skills to survive and thrive if an emergency should arise.

First offered in 1974 under the name of the Mountain Rescue Seminar, the course became Backcountry Medicine, and eventually Wilderness First Aid. The course has continued to evolve over more than 40 years, through thousands of programs, and hundreds of thousands of students.

This book is intended to be a true field guide that SOLO students can carry with them throughout their training and to use as a reference later. This book was designed specifically to compliment the instruction in the SOLO Wilderness First Aid course and is not intended for self-instruction.

This is the illustrated official field manual used by US Army doctors and soldiers in the field. It offers profession, proven advice on dealing with infections, head injuries, fractures, burns, and more. For active-duty soldiers, first-responders, and anyone who might find themselves in a survival situation, it is a remarkable resource.

Military surgeons must assume a leadership role in combat casualty care in circumstances that are far less than ideal. This handbook provides much of the information needed to tackle these issues and features state-of-the-art principles and practices of forward trauma surgery as used by military physicians in far flung locations around the globe. Subjects include:

• Hemorrhage Control
• Shock and Resuscitation
• Vascular Access
• Anesthesia
• Face and Neck Injuries
• Thoracic Injuries
• Wounds and Injuries of the Spinal Column and Cord
• Amputations
• Radiological Injuries
• Biological Warfare Agents
• Chemical Injuries
• And much more

Featuring nearly 200 illustrations demonstrating proper techniques, Emergency War Surgery is the most trusted and up-to-date manual offered by the Department of Defense for military medical personnel in the field.

WRITTEN BY A PARAMEDIC FOR PARAMEDICS, THIS TEXT IS AN ALL INCLUSIVE LOOK INTO EVERY FACET OF CAPNOGRAPHY AS IT RELATES TO PREHOSPITAL PATIENT CARE.

Capnography texts have been written in the clinical settings of anesthesiology, critical care and ventilator management ad nauseum, but never for the paramedic....unti l now.

This book is the first of its kind written by a paramedic for paramedics to use in their everyday medicine. Capnography is arguably one of the most powerful tools in a paramedics' repertoire. From the basics to V/Q ratio assessment, hopefully this book will serve as the educational foundation for paramedics to realize the full capabilities of capnography as it relates to EMS.

In Volume 1: Setting & Character, you'll learn:

- How medical professionals approach an emergency

- Key sensory details for unique medical settings

- How to avoid medical clichés.

- Facts about death and dying

- Specifics about comas, consciousness, and the infamous medically-induced coma

Patient assessment may be the most challenging subject for EMS students to grasp, and there never seems to be enough time in the classroom for practice. Patient Assessment Practice Scenarios allows students to fine-tune their understanding of the patient assessment process. This BLS- and ALS-level text includes 150 EMS practice scenarios (75 trauma and 75 medical) that focus on the assessment process as dictated by the National Registry medical assessment and trauma assessment skill sheets. Each case is a script of an emergency call. The student and proctor (who may or may not be an instructor) may read through the case for rote practice of the assessment process, or the student may verbally work through the assessment process, with cues from the book read by the proctor. Cases may also be used as homework, in the classroom, or for self-study!This book is for BLS or ALS students who want to successfully learn patient assessment inside and out before actually working in the field, and any EMS provider who wants to refresh his or her assessment skills.

This is a matter of life and death. Tactical Medicine is emergency first aid.

Tactical Medicine is an umbrella term for medicine outside the typical comfort zone. Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) is about caring for the wounded under very special circumstances, while deployed and under fire.

The principles and procedures of Tactical Medicine also apply in situations where regular rescue services won't work or aren't available.

With this book, Carsten Dombrowski, himself an experienced medic, clarifies standard operating procedures and helps the reader to understand TCCC principles more easily. By understanding and applying these basics, the reader can and should be able to deal with many possible applications of Tactical Medicine in the field.

Topics include:

- TCCC Theory and Statistics
- Schemes for Examination, First Aid, Reporting, Rescue, and Evacuation
- How to Set Up a Helicopter Landing Zone
- Handling of Knockoff and Counterfeit Products
- Individual First Aid Kit (IFAK)
