Casualty Care Revision in Mountain Rescue Book
This book/PDF/Website has been, and continues to be, developed as an aid for learning and revision of the essential skills required in the effective treatment of the many and varied casualties that we are required to treat during our voluntary work within the Mountain Rescue environment. It is designed to be used alongside the training that your team’s healthcare professionals deem appropriate for the work we undertake within guidance published by MREW. The book is not intended as a substitute for any other book, training session or other learning process but as a compliment to a wide variety of learning materials, literature and practical scenarios you undertake. We hope you find it useful, easy to use and appropriate to your training. Any comments for the continued development of this resource would be welcomed by the author and the medical team members of LAMRT.

Drugs should only be given to a casualty by a suitably qualified person. Information on manufacturer’s instructions should be read and understood before administration.

In practice they should be modified depending on the casualty’s age and status and local customs and practice.
