Wilderness First Aid Course (CERTIFIED)

Course organized in partnership with Blue Guard Middle East and Certified by ASHI (America Safety & Health Institute™) 

OUTLINE

One appeal of outdoor adventure is that you get to unplug and enjoy quiet time away from the city. Because that also means you’re farther from emergency responders and urgent care clinics, it’s important to be well-versed in wilderness first aid. Think of it as your opportunity to become more capable and self-sufficient.

The vast majority of incidents outdoors are minor and easily treatable. When providing aid in the wilderness, most of the time your goal is to keep a condition from worsening so you can continue with your adventure. That said, it’s important to be prepared for any situation.

The first thing you learn in a wilderness first-aid course is how to evaluate a patient, which includes the following steps:

1. Size up the scene
2. Identify life threats
3. Do a focused exam: head-to-toe check, vital signs and patient history
4. Make a problem list and care plan, which includes an evacuation decision
5. Treat the patient, providing both medical and emotional support
6. Monitor how the patient is doing
