This is a revised, thoroughly updated new edition of Abbott and Gifford's highly respected clinical handbook of protocols for the assessment and management of common problems seen in the pre-hospital medical area. It is written specifically for ER physicians and nurses, EMTs, and paramedics, and is the definitive textbook on this subject for medical and nursing students and residents in training. The authors have incorporated the latest ACLS, PALS, and ATLS guidelines into their protocols "with the supposition that pre-hospital care provides the initial steps of an integrated continuous resuscitation plan which will be carried through the emergency department, operating room, or critical care areas to provide the patient with the best possible chances for a successful outcome."

5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent, Well-Organized Text,
By Chris Conrad (Moab, UT USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Prehospital Emergency Care: A Guide for Paramedics, Third Edition (Clinical Handbook Series) (Paperback)
I found the text to be extrememly well-organized, written understandably, and very straightforward. As a professional in Emergency Medical Services, I use the book as a personal reference, as well as a teaching tool for advanced-skills classes. EMT Basics through Paramedics will find value in this book, as it covers all topics from basic splinting to advanced airway management and administration of medications.
