SECTION 1. BASIC PRINCIPLES

THE PURPOSE AND SCOPE OF THIS BOOK

The purpose of this book is to provide knowledgeable, experienced BDSM practitioners with a source of information, perspective, self-assessment, mental rehearsal, and review regarding how to prevent and respond to emergencies that arise in connection with BDSM play. A few points therefore deserve special notice.

1. This book provides BDSM safety information, not basic instruction. This book assumes that the reader has already been through their basic training in BDSM and is familiar with its fundamental principles and practices. Thus, this book is for experienced players, not novices. Novices seeking instruction are advised to consult this book’s Bibliography.

2. This book mostly addresses only BDSM-related emergencies. This book for the most part addresses only those emergencies closely related to BDSM play. Thus, matters relating to sexual health, such as preventing transmission of STDs, and to non-BDSM related emergencies are not addressed in depth. As above, people seeking information on those topics are advised to consult this book’s Bibliography.

3. This book is not a primary First Aid/CPR teaching tool. First Aid and CPR deserve special training materials. First Aid and CPR skills can only be learned effectively by getting skilled coaching from knowledgeable instructors, with regular refresher training. While this book is intended to be useful for review, it is not a primary teaching source. Please also note that the emergency medical procedures in this book are not dummied down. They sometimes go beyond ordinary civilian first aid.

4. This book is a quick reference guide, not an in-depth treatment. This book is a compact reference tool, not a definitive text. Therefore, only the most major points are covered here. For more detailed coverage, consult the Bibliography.

5. During major emergencies, there will probably not be time to refer to this book. In very severe situations where action must be taken immediately, there will not be time to consult this book while the emergency is in progress. For those situations, you must already be trained, equipped, and mentally prepared to respond. For less time-sensitive emergencies, there may be time to consult this book for guidance while the emergency is still in progress.

DEFINITION OF AN EMERGENCY

For our purposes, an emergency can be defined as the sudden appearance of an unstable and dangerous situation that places life, health, or property in danger and that must be dealt with immediately.

The types of emergencies. There are three basic types of emergencies:

1.  Behavioral emergencies such as a physical attack or a suicide attempt.

2.  Environmental emergencies such as an earthquake or fire.

3.  Medical emergencies such as a heart attack or burn.

Many emergencies contain a mixture of dangers — for example, an earthquake can cause property damage, physical injuries, and panic reactions.

How severe is the emergency? Emergencies can be classified into minor emergencies that are disruptive but do not threaten severe harm, and major emergencies that threaten severe harm.

How quickly will harm occur? Emergencies can also be looked at in terms of how quickly they cause harm. Do they cause harm in seconds, minutes, hours, or longer?

Emergencies that cause harm within seconds can basically only be dealt with by prevention. For example, substantial harm could result within seconds if a person in suspension bondage were to fall from a significant height. Intervening while they are falling is not realistically possible, and caring for the resultant harm after the fall occurs may not help too much, so while preventing harm is essentially always the best approach, preventing the harm is especially important in this type of emergency.

Emergencies that cause harm within minutes can often be dealt with effectively by intervention-type techniques. This can include measures such as stopping bleeding, putting out a fire with an extinguisher, or de-escalating an argument. A great deal of emergency training is devoted to dealing with conditions that cause substantial harm within minutes.

Emergencies that cause harm within hours, or longer, can often be dealt with in a more considered manner. In such cases — for example, a rectal foreign body that is not causing immediate problems — there is time to stop, assess the situation in some detail, get further information as needed, and make a good plan.

Where do emergencies arise from? For our purposes, emergencies arise from one of two causes:

1. They arise from causes that are intrinsic to the BDSM play, such as injury resulting from a bound person falling.

2. They arise from causes that are extrinsic to the BDSM play, such as a power failure.

Note: When BDSM play is being done in a reasonable way, most major emergencies arise from extrinsic causes.

The goal of all emergency care. One word: stabilize. The goal of all emergency care is to turn a dangerous, unstable situation into a stable, safe situation. Thus, in all emergencies, the question becomes — what needs to happen to stabilize this situation, and how can I appropriately help accomplish that?

When to call for help (and who to call). Many if not most emergencies can be stabilized by the people already on the scene, particularly if those people have proper training and equipment. For example, the authors of the Healthwise
