This can be very challenging and requires preparation and self-sufficiency. This is the first aid handbook that you need to have onboard. Written by medical professionals and experienced sailors, it provides expert and uniquely visual guidance on what can be managed on your boat, and when it's time to seek advice or even to arrange an emergency evacuation. The illustrations make the instructions and descriptions easy to follow, which means no confusion and valuable time lost trying to figure out the directions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePacked with vital information for all skippers, this first aid handbook covers a range of different medical conditions, illnesses and accidents, symptoms to look out for and appropriate treatment at sea, as well as the proper safety precautions to put in place on board. Suitable for both sail and power, a day trip or longer voyage, there are invaluable suggestions on medical and communication equipment all cruisers should take on their travels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNina Olofsson is a retired senior physician, specialising in general and vascular surgery, anaesthesia, intensive care, and pain management, with over 35 years of experience in emergency care.
