This revised edition is now updated to reflect the new 2005 emergency cardiac care guidelines. It thoroughly covers the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) National Standard Curriculum for First Responders. It also goes beyond the curriculum in areas such as airway management, the human body and medical emergencies. A simple, yet effective writing style presents information in an easy-to-understand manner, and case examples reflect the diversity of settings in which First Responders work. The text emphasizes teamwork throughout giving information on how the First Responder can effectively assist and work with police, fire, and EMS systems. Instructor resources are available; please contact your Elsevier sales representative for details.
