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.

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

I don't use this very often, but when I do it usually has the information I need. Some sections aren't so useful for me, such as the section on spelling (there aren't that many words included). I would like other sections to be easier to find, such as pediatric vital signs ranges.

For an EMT I would recommend getting the ALS version instead if you work on an ALS ambulance or plan on going to medic or nursing school.

Just as the title says. In New York, we have EMT-B, AEMT-I, AEMT-CC, and EMT-P. AEMT-CC (my level) is more like the NREMT-I. But I have found much information I could use is not in there. 12-lead EKGs and many drugs are a good example. For a basic, it's much more than you need. It may be good for review, but it's a little much for reference in the field. The guide also could use much more room where the protocols are listed to change them to your own.

I'm an EMT student and I was looking for something I could stash in my pocket and review on occasion. MY buddy and I both purchased this book, he bought a used one, I bought a new one. His is exactly the same as mine and in great condition. I wish I would have bought used, I could have used the extra $1,885.00.
