Introduction

Our Videos and Medical Education are not meant to be a comprehensive medical course. FORMAL MEDICAL EDUCATION IS A REQUIREMENT FOR SAFE BACKCOUNTRY TRAVEL

An example of rescuing an Alert and Oriented Patient

Assess for signs of life. Check the patient's Airway. Ensure the patient is breathing and has a pulse. Check for Injuries. Keep the patient warm. Plan for an evacuation. All fully buried avalanche victims warrant a full hospital evaluation. 

Assessing Signs of Life

Get to the patient's airway. Assess for signs of life. Clear and open the airway. Check for breathing. Check a pulse. If no breathing or pulse start CPR.
