This review is from: Emergency Care and Transportation of the Sick and Injured (Emergency Medical Services Series) (Paperback)

This is really a reference textbook for the education of new EMT's, but the information it contains is complete, concise and extremely up-to-date (important in a field that is changing ALL the time!)

Highly recommended as a text to have on your EMS shelf.

5.0 out of 5 stars Setting the new standard of EMTB education, October 1, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Emergency Care and Transportation of the Sick and Injured (Hardcover)

After teaching EMTB classes and using many different texts over the 20+ years, I was very pleased to see that the AAOS is once again setting the standard with the 7th edition. Unlike the competition, the AAOS EMTB 7th has gone the extra mile with incredible design and instructor support. The readability, design and depth of content has already paid huge dividends for my students in the field. Did I mention the internet with the AAOS 7th? This text utilizes a true "system" of learning that helps students develop confidence and competence by all kinds of activites. Visit www.emtb.com for a preview. All in all, this is probably the best EMT book ever developed and I look forward to more titles from the AAOS.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good reference for the EMT, March 26, 2000

By 

W.R. Stout (Richmond, Virginia) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Emergency Care and Transportation of the Sick and Injured (Emergency Medical Services Series) (Paperback)

This text is traditionally seen in the classroom, however not all EMT classes utilize this text and some technicians may not be familiar with it. In essence, the text is designed to provide the necessary knowledge to become an Emergency Medical Technician.

Content includes basic physiology, medical terminology, patient assessment, and emergency interventions on the basic life support level. The book assumes no prior medical knowledge on the part of the reader and the information is presented in a clear and logical manner.

The text is also useful to the layman who would appredciate a more in depth approach to the recognition of medical emergencies and life saving interventions.
