Rating: - great reference bookthis book is an amazing reference book. great for any paramedic or medical person. the diagrams are well written and the step by step procedures for the skills are well put together. Rating:  - Excellent bookThis book is a must for those who are dedicated to the art fo prehospital care. Very good editorial standard, easy to read and understand both the basics as well the advanced aspects related to trauma support. Highly recommended. Rating: - Good book for the EMT-B, Excellent Review for a ParamedicI just finished taking the course this weekend and I love this book. I'm an EMT-B and its satisfying to finally have a book that is more in depth with regards to injury kinematics, assessments, conditions, and management. There isn't MUCH new that hasn't been covered in an EMT-B course, however, it explains why certain procedures must be done with regards to the physiology of the trauma injury. I can understand why Paramedics see it as a refresher, but I guess its good for them to reinforce their foundation of knowledge. My belief is that it is too simplified for nurses and doctors, but I'm sure they take ATLS anyway ( as they should!). The main focus of the book seems to teach the ability to do a rapid assessment and treatment and then "load and go" instead of "stay and play". Rating: - Excellent upgrade from the 5th edition.PHTLS 6th edition, had numerous upgrades from the last edition. This book was very informative of the new procedures we are seeing in prehospital care. It was written for paramedic level of procedure, but was still written to be understood by an EMT-B. The DVD was excellent example of the hands on procedures, unlike the 5th editions CD. A must read for the emergency care personnel. In association with Amazon.com | |
