The critical information paramedics need—in the palm of their hands!
This convenient
field guide contains all the information that paramedics need at their
fingertips in the field—assessment checklists, anatomic illustrations,
vital sign ranges, airway management, medication indications and
administration, arrhythmias, and other basic information in the form of
tables and charts for quick reference. The full-color, spiral-bound
guide is divided into sections that follow the U.S. DOT EMT-Paramedic
National Standard Curriculum; sections are divided by color-coded tabs
to allow rapid retrieval of information when paramedics need it most.
Paramedics will
be able to confirm appropriate pediatric ET tube sizes, emergency
measures in the event of an infectious exposure, signs and symptoms of
acute illnesses, conditions that warrant supplemental oxygen
administration, fracture classifications based on displacement, and
much more.
