Step-by-step instructions, explanatory illustrations, and flow charts provide an at-a-glance reference on how to prevent, treat and care for the sick and injured at sea. And there is advice on pre-voyage preparations, establishing emergency procedures, first response, and assessment of illnesses and injury, right through to offshore aftercare and recovery. The Skipper's Medical Emergency Handbook is a comprehensive and practical resource for novices or experienced sailors and motorboaters.
The Skipper's Medical Emergency Handbook is designed to assist all who go to sea--whether on a day excursion, a holiday cruise, or an even longer trip. It will provide practical advice, boost confidence, solve problems, and minimize danger for all on board.
