When a seafarer or fisher becomes sick or is injured at sea, 在到达专业医疗服务之前,由他们的一名机组成员提供医疗救助. This person will have had limited medical training on shore, as required under the STCW Convention, but is not a fully-trained doctor. When confronted with a medical emergency far from land, the person responsible for medical care relies on telemedical assistance services (TMAS), the medicines and equipment available in the on board medicine chest, and the on board medical guide for support.

ICS的这一现代实用医疗指南是由具有多年海员和渔民工作和培训经验的国际海事医疗从业人员和专家小组编写和审查的. It can be used on board all ships and fishing vessels, anywhere in the world, and in onshore safety departments, medical assistance centres and training institutions who support seafarers and fishers.

Foreword

The International Medical Guide for Seafarers and Fishers 是否为非医疗专业人员设计指南,以帮助他们在海上工作时处理医疗紧急情况. This practical guide provides a useful complement to the International Medical Guide for Ships, produced by the International Labour Organization (ILO), the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and the World Health Organization (WHO). 

海事组织和劳工组织的相关文书规定了医疗指南的培训和运输要求, respectively. 在船上获得医疗护理的重要性再怎么强调也不为过,医疗准则对于确保在医疗紧急情况下获得适当的知识和快速反应至关重要. 

国际航运协会(ICS)和国际海事组织(IMO)有着密切的工作关系. 大发黄金版网页版登录通过积极参加海事组织会议和出版支持国际规则的指南,对海事组织的工作作出了重大贡献.

本指南是与主要组织的海事医疗专业人员合作编写的,目的是通过最新的医疗指南,以实际的方式满足行业需求,帮助提高船上医疗服务的标准.

As a former seafarer, 我亲身体会到,如果海员在船上生病,提供良好的医疗护理是多么重要. In all situations that require medical attention, it is vital that the appropriate treatments, medicines and equipment are accessible, combined with the knowledge to handle any medical emergencies that may arise.

In this guide, 建议以一种用户友好的方式提出,因此,对于那些接受过有限医疗培训的人来说,信息是直接易懂的. 指南的药箱部分包括最新的和国际上可用的药物和船舶医疗袋的推荐内容, and portable action cards have been included for crew to carry and use in a medical situation.

Seafarer welfare is of the utmost importance. Although it is always the hope that no one will require urgent medical care, 我们必须确保海员拥有资源,以便在出现医疗紧急情况时帮助他们应对.
