Even in urban areas, patients may suffer from heat- or cold-related illnesses. In more remote areas, altitude illness, undersea illness, and decompression sickness may be encountered. Electrical injuries from both lightning and electrical sources may be seen. EMS workers need to understand how to stabilize these illnesses and injuries, while remaining safe.
