Product Description:

Essentials of Paramedic Care, 2nd edition, is the first text program to take students beyond the skills necessary to practice as a paramedic and into the underlying principles upon which those practices are based. Correlated to the U.S. Department of Transportation's 1998 National Standard Curriculum for EMT-Paramedic, this text provides the background content and skills coverage required for paramedic education. The text, comprised of five divisions, covers all eight modules of the curriculum.

Division 1: Introduction to Advanced Prehospital Care (includes Airway Management)

Division 2: Patient Assessment

Division 3: Trauma Emergencies

Division 4: Medical Emergencies

Division 5: Special Considerations/Operations (includes Assessment-Based Management)

It was really easy to look up definetion and the ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Essentials of Paramedic Care....Tragedy, or Not?
Well it is true that I have found a few typos already, and that was in the first few chapters. However, after reading the reviews I can show you quite a few typos. This book is good and it was the book of choice by my Paramedic instructor, because he wanted a book that was writen by a real medic, not just a former medic that is now a realestate agent. Anyways, even if the book has errors in it, remember that the most important instruction tool along with your book is your INSTRUCTOR, and how he or ... Read More
