This review is from: Pocket Reference for the Emt-B and First Responder (Spiral-bound)

This is a good book for everyone who is new to the EMS and would like to carry a quick reference in case of an emergency. It covers the CPR guidelines and most protocols as in the Brady Emergency Care. Buy it if you are looking for something to carry up with you.
