Description
For EMT Basic courses. Emergency Care, 10/E has prepared more students to pass state and/or the National Registry Exam than any other text on the market with well-organized, clearly presented content, thorough coverage of patient assessment, an accessible reading level, high quality artwork, and outstanding skill scans of equipment and procedures. Case studies and practical tips from the field tie chapter concepts to real world applications. Each chapter sends students to the Companion Website where there are links to EMS-related sites. A new in-text CD provides extra information to help students master concepts.
Reviews / Votes
"I am an Emergency Medicine Physician, fellowship trained in Emergency Medical Services. I have reviewed the airway chapter in the 10th edition of Emergency Care, for an EMT-B course for which I am serving as Medical Director. The chapter is excellent. It clearly states the goals, and objectives, and covers the subject with a great balance of concisely written text, pictures, and diagrams." - Ron Crafton, MD, Medical Director, EMS Academy of LouisvilleMore details
