Emergency Care

Emergency Care 9e prepares students for state competency exams and/or the National Registry Exam with well-organized, clearly presented content, an accessible reading level, high quality artwork and outstanding skill scans of procedures. Case studies and practical tips from the field tie chapter concepts to real world applications. Algorithms and flow charts provide an at-a-glance illustration of patient assessment and care steps for medical and trauma emergencies. Each chapter now includes new web links to relevant EMS-related sites. A new multimedia support package brings concepts to life. Over 1.6 million students have succeeded using this book, more than any other EMT-Basic training text. For over thirty years, Emergency Care has provided students with clear, complete coverage of the U.S. D.O.T. EMT-Basic National Standard Curriculum. The Ninth Edition provides updated content, a new interior design, and enhanced pedagogical features—to keep pace with today's students' needs and advances in prehospital care. A state-of-the-art multimedia package, featuring a student CD-ROM and a text-specific Companion Website, provides students with greater coverage of chapter material. This textbook introduces the skills EMT-Basics need to assess trauma and medical patients, initiate transport to the hospital, and treat patients experiencing respiratory, cardiac, diabetic, allergic, overdose, environmental, and behavioral emergencies. The tenth edition adds three chapters on acute abdominal emergencies, geriatric patients, and EMS response to terrorism. The CD-ROM contains triage simulations, street scene exercises, a virtual airway tour, an atlas of injuries, and anatomy animations. Annotation © 2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
