Review

The original and still the best. --EMS Magazine

I found the EMS field guide at a local bookstore and decided in about two minutes that it was a must have. As a new EMTB, it's great to have a concise and easy to follow reference right at my fingertips. Thank you! -- --Eric DeMuth

EMT Field Guide is a great tool for the EMT. I have used it in the field. It is compact, water resistant, easy to read and is laid out so you can find critical data fast! It has life saving information at your finger tips. Every EMT should have one.

This little spiral notebook fits easily in your pocket and is full of helpful information for practicing emts such as drug names and what they are for, pictures and discriptions of EKG rhythms, the glasgow coma scale, and discriptions of other things you might find in the field. I highly recommend this book to all emts.

5.0 out of 5 stars I recommend THIS pocket guide to my Students, December 27, 2009

Of all the Pocket/Field Guides out there, THIS is the one I recommend to my Students. It is well thought out, nicely organized, clear, and contains the stuff you NEED in the Field.

I have been in EMS for almost 30 years, the last 18 years as a Paramedic. I have taught EMS for the last 25 years and run an EMS program for 20 years. This is the BEST Field Guide that I have found in all those years. Kinda wish I could get a "kick back" for each of them purchased.

Buy it, Use it, and Learn from it!! You will go far in Emergency Medical Services. This IS a Tool of the Trade
