This unique text provides in-depth coverage of every area of pediatric emergency care - making it ideal for prehospital providers, physicians, nurses, and other health care professionals who treat pediatric patients. In addition to the new ECC guideline, it includes pediatric advanced life support. This is the approved textbook for the American Safety & Health Institute's (ASHI) pediatric emergency care course.

Customer Reviews
Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Disappointing
Ultimately, not a bad book overall. However, I'm greatly disappointed in that the title indicates a "Comprehensive" text on Peds ER care. At best, this is an introductory text on Peds ER care. Although well written and illustrated, nearly all topics are under developed for the needs of the experienced Peds ER RN. I have found this book useful in orienting new staff, but it was not the reference text I was hoping for or expecting when purchased. Buyer beware.
