Wilderness Medicine

The Wilderness Medicine Quick Reference Guide, written by Clif Castleman and Katie Dixon, was designed as an easy to use, quick medical reference tool for outdoor professionals, wilderness travelers and rescue specialists. The guide contains topics that are commonly encountered in the backcountry, including: acronyms, vital signs, new clinical guidelines for suspected spinal column injury assessment, as well as wound care, dislocation reduction, common medical problems and their treatment, and more. Finally, an easy to use field guide designed for any care giver who works in backcountry and wilderness environments, or deals with prolonged care and patient contact times.
