Now revised and expanded to cover all aspects of prehospital trauma - with new chapters on burns, wilderness trauma, tactical considerations, weapons of mass destruction, triage and disaster management, and environmental trauma - the 6th edition is the ultimate trauma text for any prehospital care provider! The 6th edition is also ideal for use as the trauma component of an EMT or paramedic course or as a general reference tool on trauma assessment and management. The Instructor's Resource Manual with CD-ROM is available for certified PHTLS instructors ONLY. It can be ordered through MosbyJems, but customers must first obtain an access code from the National PHTLS office at 1-800-94-PHTLS or 1-601-924-7744.

 Rating:  - Good book, bad DVDThe book is interesting, well written and has excellent graphics. The DVD is of much less quality and of questionable value. I really did not like the "Rapid Trauma Assessment" and the "Non-Critical Trauma Assessment". They left out steps, the audio quality was horrible and the providers seemed almost bored with the scenario. It was probably the worst assessment video I have ever seen! Rating:  - Much better than the Brady Vol. 4 Trauma Care!Yes, this is a much, much better book relating to trauma care than the Brady Paramedic series Volume 4 Trauma Care! As with the Mosby books, prefer them over many of the Brady Books. As for the PHTLS book, the photos, diagrams, charts, etc., are way more professional looking. All of the information is laid out and organized in a much better format and easier to follow along with. I can't always say the same for the Brady book. I wished my paramedic class would have used this book over the Brady Trauma ... Read More Rating: - PHTLS reviewA good supplement for learning experience. Interesting background information at the start. Good details in the text, review questions that work, & scenarios at the beginning of ea chapter with solution at the end. Aimed at learning not at just passing the EMT exam. Good detailed information with the DVD backing up each skill described. There are a lot of good diagrams backed up with actual photographs of injuries with treatment. Well thought out instructions in each chapter, from single incidence to ...

We have used some of the techiques described, and all have been effective. Worth the money and its a good way to improve/expand your skills. Glenn R.Schirg, EMT Rating: - PHTLSProduct was perfect for the class I was taking. I will keep this book in my library for reference.
