  • Title: General Consideration in the History, Physical Examination, and Safety Determination.
    Author: Buchanan J, Dexter W, Powell A, Wright J.
    Journal: Wilderness Environ Med; 2015 Dec; 26(4 Suppl):S15-9. PubMed ID: 26617374.
    Abstract:
    A thorough medical history is perhaps the most important aspect when evaluating an athlete before wilderness adventure. A physical examination should follow focusing on conditions that may be affected by changes in atmospheric pressure, extremes of temperature, or altitude. This information can then be used to make safety recommendations ensuring that adventurers are able to safely enjoy participation in the wilderness pursuit of their choice.
