There is some good write up on that in one of the online books on single
handling. I don`t have access at this moment (I am travelling), but if you
Google single handling, you should be able to find it. If not, I will be back
by Easter and will find it for you.

Josh,
Advanced training would be worthwhile, but i'd probably pass out during the
course!
In the Safety at Sea seminar they made clear that if you have a heart attack
and no AED you are dead. No one can do CPR long enough for a boat or chopper
to get to you. Sobering stuff!
During the Bermuda race we had an MD on board, but he hadn't seen a patient in
30 years. Still it was comforting to have him there. My internist was good
about writing prescriptions for Zofran, scopalamine etc. I'll need to re-stock.

Joel,
I've also heard quite a few recommendations for the whole offshore crew to
have advanced medical training. No matter how good the first aid bag is and
how good your wife is, what if she is the one injured? AEDs are also becoming
a regular addition to offshore kits. I recommend it.
You can also talk to you family practitioner they can provide recommendations
and prescriptions for necessary additions.

Joel,
Most sporting goods stores and camping supply outfits has some good robust
kits for a fraction of the “marine” prices. How detailed a set will depend on
you and the requirements. I have a pretty good set on board which I got for
under $100, but I don’t go more than a few miles offshore and don’t see myself
as someone who could do any major first aid beyond the basics.
Having a nurse on board is a major benefit. It would be wise to ask her
what items she would need on board in case something happens and then pick a
kit based on that.
All the best,
Edd

I'd like to buy an "offshore" first aid kit. The large ones, even on
sale at Defender, are $450. There are lots of cheaper kits from Zee Medical,
ULine, Orion and even Bass Pro Shops.
Unless the Admiral is onboard, there will probably be no one with medical
training beyond basic first aid. (She's a nurse.) Any recommendations other
than ask her?
