Which of the following is NOT one of the 6 Wilderness Protocols?

The Wilderness Protocols are a set of guidelines designed to manage specific medical conditions in outdoor and remote environments. Each protocol addresses particular scenarios that wilderness responders may encounter while ensuring effective and efficient interventions.

Cardiac tamponade, a condition where fluid accumulates in the pericardial sac, leading to pressure on the heart and potentially compromising its function, is not traditionally included in the wilderness protocols. This is mainly due to the complexity and often critical nature of cardiac conditions, which typically require advanced medical interventions beyond what can be performed in a wilderness setting.

In contrast, options related to wound cleaning and debridement, joint dislocations, and severe asthma are actionable protocols that wilderness first responders are trained to handle. These types of injuries or conditions are more likely to be encountered in the wilderness and can often be managed with the skills and materials available to responders in such environments.
