This review is from: Prehospital Emergency Care (Hardcover)

Brady - Prehospital Emergency Care, I have my own preference, I always read. This is the best Prentice Hall Product and have sixth edition. Text contains clear, step-by-step to education, picture or diagram is explanations with understandable material that is comprehensive, stimulating, and challenging enough to prepare , real on-the-job situations and attractive price.

Best-selling. It¡¦s because this book is not only suitable for EMT ¡V Basic. It¡¦s suitable for all. People want to study in any time, any elsewhere of life support. This book was considered the all resource for medical and trauma emergencies.

In this book train students to do thorough patient assessment. Because patient assessment is very important, use limit resource to save unlimit life. I think this book is leadership on this area. And expanded to include even more full-color art and photos of procedures and updated equipment, as well as new flowcharts illustrating assessment and care steps for various emergency situations. The authors also bring students up to date on new protocols that summarize cardiac arrest, pediatric emergencies, as well as many other crisis conditions. NEW twenty-six new assessment flowcharts illustrate care steps for breathing difficulty, cardiac compromise, diabetic emergencies, bleeding and shock, burns, head injuries, newborn resuscitation, and many more. NEW assessment protocols summarize emergency care for cardiac arrest, stroke, allergic reaction, near-drowning, abdominal injuries, and pediatric emergencies, among others. In-depth patient assessment-based approach presented in a clear, logical format. Case studies integrated throughout the text. Comprehensive, step-by-step coverage meets and exceeds the requirements of the D.O.T. EMT-B curriculum. NEW¡XNew, reader-friendly design highlights key information. Basic Life Support review and National Registry Skill Sheets are included. BLS review helps students recall material that should previously have been covered. National Registry Review Sheets help students prepare for the test they must pass to be certified EMT-B's.

The best innovative is provide weblinks with interactive education. Contains chapter-by-chapter review quizzes, message boards, chat rooms, and additional student and instructor resources. And ¡§Web Watch¡¨ icons throughout the text direct students to current websites that offer further discussion of chapter topics. I believe that is great imporve!
