To minimize shock, pain must be relieved. Capsules of codeine sulfate, 1 grain, and aspirin, 5 grains (obtained on prescription), will help relieve pain, and should be carried by all ski mountaineers. Aspirin may cause perspiration and should be used with caution, not more often than once every four to six hours. It is hoped that the morphine syrettes used extensively by the armed forces, or an equivalent product, will be available on prescription. The morphine solution is injected under the skin and is used when pain is severe, as in fractures; it should not be given more often than once every four hours. |
