Details

The Ship Captain’s Medical Guide is intended primarily for use on vessels where there is no medical professional, such as a doctor, on board. It provides assistance and direction for crew members when it becomes necessary for them to assess and treat trauma and medical illness. Ships and fishing vessels which carry Category A or Category B stores are required also to carry a copy of the guide.

This new guide, the 24th edition, continues to keep pace with the rapid changes in best-practice medicine, medical technology and global communications. It also provides reference for medical training courses, and a framework for crew members within which to think, when faced with unfamiliar medical problems at sea.

It contains:

flow charts to aid evaluation and treatment
incorporation of ‘red flags’ to aid identification of potentially life-threatening conditions
clear, authoritative advice and easy-to-follow guidance
step-by-step illustrations to explain emergency procedures
cross-references to further detai
anatomical illustrations
