Open water (OW) and swiftwater medical emergencies and rescues pose unique challenges for medical responders and search and rescue teams.

Learn to:

  • Identify the unique medical risks in open water and swiftwater rescues
  • Assess the scene, evaluate risk, and balance rescuer safety with rapid patient stabilization, treatment, and transport
  • Differentiate the effects of OW and swiftwater on trauma, entrapment, hypothermia, and other common outdoor injuries
  • Identify indications for in-water resuscitation and spinal motion restriction (SMR)
  • Familiarize yourself with OW & swiftwater guidelines for airway management, breathing, and circulation (ABCs)
  • Recognize medical priorities in an open water or swiftwater mass casualty scenario, like a capsized party boat or raft, or a powerboat crash into bystanders

Includes 15-day replay link.
