The first Canadian Edition incorporates all the information that an Emergency Medical Responder needs. The easy-to-read, step-by-step format which made this text a student favourite for over a decade has been retained in the Canadian edition. The text correlates and complies with the Paramedic Association of Canada's National Occupational Competency Profiles for Emergency Medical Responders. It incorporates case studies and examples from a Canadian perspective, using Canadian content, legislation and procedures. The authors also include a variety of "enrichment" materials throughout the book, as well as expanded coverage of provincial traffic and ambulance acts, dispatch systems, and Canadian CPR standards.
