Emergency Care: A Textbook for Paramedics

This is a major textbook covering all areas of knowledge that paramedics in the UK today are expected to be familiar with, and describing how to cope with the huge range of situations they will face. From resuscitation to emergency vehicle driving, from care of the elderly to chemical incidents, each chapter is written by an expert practising in the field. The book is highly illustrated, and designed to be as accessible as possible, with highlighted 'golden rules', mnemonics and step-by-step procedures. For the rapidly growing number of paramedics, this book will undoubtedly become a well-thumbed 'bible'.
