First Aid at Sea By Douglas Justins and Colin Berry
A quick reference guide is invaluable aboard when somebody needs instant medical attention. Recommended by the Royal Ocean Racing Club (RORC), this book is aimed at quickly relieving pain and suffering, preventing further harm and delivering a patient ashore.
Included are treatments for cuts and shock, burns and scalds, hypothermia, fractures and sprains.
The book is colour-coded for quick and easy reference, and covers emergency procedures including flares and hand signals, and how to communicate via VHF radio.
Verdict: Thoughtfully designed for quick and easy reference - covers first aid basics as well as emergency procedures at sea.
