Quite a few medical papers on the subject includeing 'Guide to patient assessment', 'Avalanche Triage', 'Dislocation Reduction' etc.
All good stuff sourced from UIAA, NZMGA.
There are also lots of other papers on avalanches, avalanche rescue, snowpack assesment, and an article by Don Bogie on Snow Anchors.
I would recommend this as all good reading to budding alpinists or others intending a trip to new Zealand this summer. When it comes to the alpine environment................. What you don't know CAN hurt you. |
