Essentials of Paramedic Care (2nd Edition)

Essentials of Paramedic Care, 2nd edition, is the first text program to take students beyond the skills necessary to practice as a paramedic and into the underlying principles upon which those practices are based.  Correlated to the U.S. Department of Transportation's 1998 National Standard Curriculum for EMT-Paramedic, this text provides the background content and skills coverage required for paramedic education.  The text, comprised of five divisions, covers all eight modules of the curriculum.

Division 2:  Patient Assessment

Division 3:  Trauma Emergencies

Division 4:  Medical Emergencies

Division 5:  Special Considerations/Operations (includes Assessment-Based Management)
