It contains basic information that every EMT trainee needs, and added coverage on topics such as emergency incident rehabilitation and the Incident Management System. An easy-to-read and -understand format makes this book an invaluable tool for members of the fire service. A four-part organization covers essentials, medical and trauma emergencies, operations, and advanced airway elective. Special fire service chapters describe policies and procedures to properly pass along information about a patient among responders in order to assure optimal patient care, describes how to set up a Rehabilitation Sector/Group area, and suggests procedures by which firefighters can be admitted to and discharged from the area. A focus on pediatric and geriatric concerns outlines the special module on assessment and care of infants and children called for by the U.S. DOT curriculum, and discusses the special concerns with a large and growing segment of EMS clients—geriatric patients. MARKE: For the training of EMT-Basics who are members of the fire service.
