Abstract

This document consists of the six issues of the "Wilderness Medicine Newsletter" published during 1997. The newsletter provides medical and rescue information for the non-physician in remote wilderness areas.

Feature articles in this volume cover managing fractures in a wilderness environment; winter trip advice; drowning and near-drowning assistance; bats and rabies; women's health issues; potable water; Medecins Sans Frontieres (Doctors without Borders), an international humanitarian medical relief agency; a proposed river-crossing rating and assessment system; an overview of tick-borne diseases; death in the backcountry; and an update on the Prehospital Emergency Training, Standards, and Accreditation Committee (PETSAC).
