Delius Klasing, Medicine at sea

Medicine at Sea by Delius Klasing is the standard medical reference work for sailors and motorboat drivers. This reference book is designed to help you bridge the time at sea without medical assistance, prevent accident situations in advance and take the right measures in emergencies. Medicine at Sea is written in language that is understandable even for non-medical professionals and largely dispenses with complicated technical terms. In addition, the book contains information on how to set up an on-board pharmacy appropriate to the respective sailing area. This is also tailored to the needs of merchant shipping and forms the basis for medical consultations at sea. The book is rounded off by a list of medical terms in German and English. The book is divided into the following sections according to the urgency of the situation:

- Diagnosis by leading symptoms (neurological, urological, orthopaedic, etc.)
- First aid for the respective accidents and illnesses
- Treatment of emergencies (respiratory distress, unconsciousness, haemorrhage, drowning, burns, etc.)
- Further treatment and transport
