Prehospital Emergency Care

Prehospital Emergency Care, Seventh Edition is the book for EMT-Bs who want to go above and beyond the United States D.O.T. requirements. Long considered the most complete resource for EMT-B training, this best-selling, student-friendly text contains clear, step-by-step explanations of patient conditions, assessment, and treatment. The material is comprehensive, stimulating, and challenging enough to prepare students for real on-the-job situations. Revised and thoroughly updated, the new Seventh Edition contains the most recent American Heart Association guidelines and the latest clinical information related to conducting an accurate assessment. This comprehensive text for basic EMTs includes advanced medication and airway management techniques. It also comes with a CD-ROM that includes quizzes, tests, and other enhancements. The purpose is to educate the student to the level of a basic EMT. The education of basic EMTs is essential for out-of-hospital emergency care. The authors meet this goal with a comprehensive, up-to-date text. This book is written for basic EMT students. It is a comprehensive text that exceeds the level of basic EMT knowledge for those students who desire more information. The principal author is a recognized expert in the field of EMT education. All aspects of the body of knowledge necessary for the education of the basic EMT are covered in this book. The book is well organized and easy to read and includes additional information for those students seeking a higher level of understanding. The accompanying CD-ROM is well designed and nicely complements the basic EMT's educational experience. It also provides testing resources for the instructor. This is a quality comprehensive text that compares very well with other texts on the market. The well organized, professionally produced CD-ROM complements the text nicely.
