This is a revised, thoroughly updated new edition of Abbott and Gifford's highly respected clinical handbook of protocols for the assessment and management of common problems seen in the pre-hospital medical area. It is written specifically for ER physicians and nurses, EMTs, and paramedics, and is the definitive textbook on this subject for medical and nursing students and residents in training. The authors have incorporated the latest ACLS, PALS, and ATLS guidelines into their protocols "with the supposition that pre-hospital care provides the initial steps of an integrated continuous resuscitation plan which will be carried through the emergency department, operating room, or critical care areas to provide the patient with the best possible chances for a successful outcome."

This resource has been developed to document compliance with the 1998 DOT National Standard Curriculum (NSC) psychomotor and affective domain objectives. The authors have created skill sheets and scenarios to meet CAAHEP/CoAEMSP joint review for national accreditation, as well as the diagnosis-based patient assessment requirements of the NSC.

Ever since the first EMT book was written, there have been two philosophies chosen by the authors for the reader: One type is to provide for the minimal required information and to meet only the minimum standards required by the profession. At the other end of the spectrum is the philosophy that is written to be all-inclusive. This will give the student reader (and ultimately patient care provider) the strongest knowledge possible. If you or your family were to become sick or injured in the middle of the night, in the blowing snow or in the cold rain, do you want the EMT taking care of you to be the very best they possibly could be or simply one who has taken the course to “get by”? This book is not a “get by” book. This book is not written by “get by” authors. This book is not edited by “get by” editors. Just open this book and look at the four editors—four better people in the United States to write such a book could not have been chosen. Norman E.
