The Wilderness Medical Society has issued new practice guidelines for Treatment of Exercise-Associated Hyponatremia and Spine Immobilization in the Austere Environment
If you have medical protocols (and why would you?) they just 
changed. If you run wilderness programs, a new guideline that you will be judged against has been created.
The Wilderness Medicine Society is the organization for writing guidelines for outdoor recreation and SAR community, besides being a great organization for meeting the experts in the field of wilderness medicine. If you are involved in the outdoors you should be a member! Join today.
The Wilderness Medicine Society is the First Aid Organization
The new guidelines have been developed over years of research by experts in the field. These experts include both the SAR personnel who find people and the physicians who treat the injured victims once they arrive at a hospital.
Join today and find out what these new guidelines are and how to implement them in your program.
