Abstract
To provide guidance to clinicians and avalanche professionals about best practices,
the Wilderness Medical Society convened an expert panel to develop evidence-based
guidelines for the prevention, rescue, and medical management of avalanche and nonavalanche
snow burial victims. Recommendations are graded on the basis of quality of supporting
evidence according to the classification scheme of the American College of Chest Physicians.
