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 1: Introduction to Advanced Prehospital Care (includes Airway Management) Division 2: Patient Assessment Division 3: Trauma Emergencies Division 4: Medical Emergencies Division 5: Special Considerations/Operations (includes Assessment-Based Management)
This edition on paramedic emergency care covers: current infectious diseases; airway management devices; the autonomic nervous system; the changes in priorities in treating asthma and reactive airway disease; and stress, burnout and CISD, as they relate to the paramedic.
