SynopsisPrehospital Emergency Care, Sixth Edition, is the book for serious EMT-B's who want to go above and beyond the D.O.T. requirements. Long considered the most complete resource for EMT-B training, this best-selling, student-friendly text contains clear, step-by-step explanations with understandable material that is comprehensive, stimulating, and challenging enough to prepare and equip students for real on-the-job situations. Professors need better ways to train students to do thorough patient assessment. Because this revised curriculum emphasizes patient assessment, there is no better book than this one right now. The new edition is now expanded to include even more full-color art and photos of procedures and updated equipment, as well as new flowcharts illustrating assessment and care steps for various emergency situations. The authors also bring students up to date on new protocols that summarize cardiac arrest, pediatric emergencies, as well as many other crisis conditions. In this Sixth Edition, Brady proudly announces an innovative Companion Website offering book-specific activities and weblinks with interactive activities. In tandem with the text, students and professors can now take full advantage of the World Wide Web to enrich their study of prehospital care. This new multimedia package takes students into the new millennium.
