Reeds First Aid Handbook/Руководство по оказанию первой помощи Reeds

Книга на английском языке
This book is written for anyone who sets sail on a vessel without a medic aboard - so most vessels at sea.
Although there is a limit on what can be done on a small boat, nevertheless with appropriate intervention as described in this handbook, the medical condition of a patient can be significantly improved and in some circumstances lives can even be saved.
Skippers and their crew, especially long distance sailors, are advised to attend a training course in first aid. Advice on more expert interventions (from giving someone fluids intravenously to inserting a chest drain) are not offered in this handbook. These manoeuvres are potentially hazardous if attempted by non-medics unfamiliar and untrained in such techniques.
For bigger boats with a larger crew and for those travelling long distances to remote areas, it is advisable to have aboard a crew member designated as responsible for medical care. This person might be a medic, a nurse or someone who has specifically trained in first aid and marine or wilderness medicine.
