Talk:First Aid/Marine First Aid

Marine First Aid
What exactly are you looking for for marine first aid? Mike6271 02:23, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
 * This was going to be based on an SJA Marine FA course. I'm not sure whether it should be included. For now, we can leave it blank as room for expansion. If you want, add stuff like marine animal stings/bites, aspiration/secondary drowning/drowning, shallow/deep water blackout, link to pressure injuries (or maybe merge them to here instead)... Also medevac from marine vessels (by air & water), using VHF radio and distress signalling, the layperson's role in marine SAR. What do you think of that sort of content? I think it's beyond Standard, but we're also including O2, AED, triage etc. This is actually not as extensive as it sounds, and is all lay-level content (ie. not healthcare provider). This might also be a good place to introduce aquatic spinal rollovers and perhaps some other specific water rescue techniques. But maybe not. What say you? – Mike.lifeguard  &#124; talk 02:51, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Ooooo ok that's a good idea. Some goes above standard first aid, but most of it is basic.  I will try to add some things here sometime soon.  Thanks! Mike6271 02:57, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

Decompression Sickness
Decompression sickness is already covered under First Aid/Pressure-Related Illness & Injury. Would it be more appropriate here or in the pressure section? Mike6271 (talk) 21:53, 29 October 2010 (UTC)
