Book excerpt: Calling 911 in an emergency may be the most important thing you ever do. However, it is only one tool to get you and yours through a medical emergency. This guide lays out a smarter process to improve the odds that you and your charge(s) have successful outcomes (i.e., survive) when going through a medical emergency. That means getting yourself, your family, your charges, your home, and your environment ready for a medical emergency. You need to make your home and environment "responder ready." You need to learn how to give critical aid that keeps your charge stable until professional help arrives. You need to know how to get responders to your charge quickly and be as helpful to them as you can while they are there. It's also important to know how to get prompt care at - and "work" - a hospital emergency department. Finally, you need to plan for and get through the recovery process with your charge and take care of yourself, too. That includes learning from the experience so you can improve what you know and better handle things the next time. It also includes assessing the emergency's impact on you, the caregiver, so that you can successfully recover yourself.

Book excerpt: Terrorist attacks. Natural disasters. Domestic crackdowns. Economic collapse. Riots. Wars. Disease. Starvation. What can you do when it all hits the fan? You can learn to be self-sufficient and survive without the system. **I've started to look at the world through apocalypse eyes.** So begins Neil Strauss's harrowing new book: his first full-length worksince the international bestseller The Game, and one of the most original-and provocative-narratives of the year. After the last few years of violence and terror, of ethnic and religious hatred, of tsunamis and hurricanes–and now of world financial meltdown–Strauss, like most of his generation, came to the sobering realization that, even in America, anything can happen. But rather than watch helplessly, he decided to do something about it. And so he spent three years traveling through a country that's lost its sense of safety, equipping himself with the tools necessary to save himself and his loved ones from an uncertain future. With the same quick wit and eye for cultural trends that marked The Game, The Dirt, and How to Make Love Like a Porn Star, Emergency traces Neil's white-knuckled journey through today's heart of darkness, as he sets out to move his life offshore, test his skills in the wild, and remake himself as a gun-toting, plane-flying, government-defying survivor. It's a tale of paranoid fantasies and crippling doubts, of shady lawyers and dangerous cult leaders, of billionaire gun nuts and survivalist superheroes, of weirdos, heroes, and ordinary citizens going off the grid. It's one man's story of a dangerous world–and how to stay alive in it. Before the next disaster strikes, you're going to want to read this book. And you'll want to do everything it suggests. Because tomorrow doesn't come with a guarantee...

This book was released on 2015-09-29 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cardiac arrest can strike a seemingly healthy individual of any age, race, ethnicity, or gender at any time in any location, often without warning. Cardiac arrest is the third leading cause of death in the United States, following cancer and heart disease. Four out of five cardiac arrests occur in the home, and more than 90 percent of individuals with cardiac arrest die before reaching the hospital. First and foremost, cardiac arrest treatment is a community issue - local resources and personnel must provide appropriate, high-quality care to save the life of a community member. Time between onset of arrest and provision of care is fundamental, and shortening this time is one of the best ways to reduce the risk of death and disability from cardiac arrest. Specific actions can be implemented now to decrease this time, and recent advances in science could lead to new discoveries in the causes of, and treatments for, cardiac arrest. However, specific barriers must first be addressed. Strategies to Improve Cardiac Arrest Survival examines the complete system of response to cardiac arrest in the United States and identifies opportunities within existing and new treatments, strategies, and research that promise to improve the survival and recovery of patients. The recommendations of Strategies to Improve Cardiac Arrest Survival provide high-priority actions to advance the field as a whole. This report will help citizens, government agencies, and private industry to improve health outcomes from sudden cardiac arrest across the United States.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Be Prepared to Face Any Medical Emergency With This Essential Guide While many first aid manuals provide valuable instructions on how to respond to various medical situations, they may not meet the needs of the average citizen preparing to meet a broad range of medical emergencies, with limited skills, limited supplies, and limited or non-existent support from the Emergency Management System and medical professionals. In this color-photo illustrated manual, veteran survivalist and trained EMT James C. Jones did not create “just another” first aid book. Instead, each subject is approached from the perspective of equipping the untrained citizen to provide care for family members and neighbors, under extremely trying conditions, without expert help. Prepper’s Medical Manual includes basic first aid subjects, such as bandaging, splinting, control of bleeding, and treatment of shock, along with those subjects specifically associated with the needs of those responding to true disaster emergencies. Complete with multiple step-by-step response guides and checklists for stocking personal medical emergency kits, Prepper's Medical Manual can ensure readiness for even the worst-case scenario.

Book excerpt: *ALWAYS BE PREPARED!* Praise for Practical Doomsday Medicine: "This guide is the easiest to understand, most concise reference for real end of the world scenario medical dangers. Even if we never face a true doomsday event, the information contained here will be of good everyday use, too." - Ken B., member of the Rawlin's Doomsday Preppers Group. "By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail" - Benjamin Franklin In a true doomsday scenario event, you are your family's first line of care. When 911 is no longer an option, you will have to be the medical professional for your family in any situation. If the grid goes down, we face chemical or biological attack, or simply survive a Hurricane, everyone should know how to care for medical emergencies. You are your family's first responder in a doomsday medical emergency. You must be prepared to handle any medical emergency that arises. I learned about surviving a doomsday scenario when I was a kid and lived through two major hurricanes. While this was not an end-of-civilization event, it was at least a week of having the power grid down and resources being scarce. In this situation, I got a taste of what it might be like to survive a true doomsday event. What if the situation was truly a doomsday event? Who would care for your family when a hospital is unreachable? The answer is YOU. You must learn to become your family's medical professional. In my book, Practical Doomsday Medicine, I will teach you all about medicine in an extreme emergency situation. You will learn how to handle any emergency medical situation when help may not be available: Taking Prevention into Account and Improving Your Health First Aid: Why it is Important Your First Aid Kit Stockpiling Medications Hygiene & Sanitation Handling Mild Emergencies such as Blisters, Bug Bites, and Cuts Handling More Moderate Level Emergencies like Water and Foodborne Illnesses and Animal Bites First Aid for Burns Infectious Disease Signs, Symptoms, and Care How to Handle Tooth Trouble and Infections Caring for Eye Injuries Care for Severe Emergencies such as Electric Shock, Heatstroke, and Frostbite Handling the Dead How to Sterilize Your Water in the Wild Caring for Gunshot Wounds Heart-Related Emergencies like a Heart Attack and Stroke First Aid for Fractured or Broken Bones including Placing a Splint I will also show you along the way how to incorporate more naturally occurring medicine and remedies that won't rely upon manufacturing in the downfall of society. You will learn so much from this book that you will also be able to apply to daily life aside from a doomsday scenario. Be sure to click BUY NOW to add this handy reference guide to your collection.
