Geriatric patients are one of the most rapidly growing segments serviced by prehospital providers. Addressing a deficiency in prehospital educational materials for EMS providers, this text focuses on the prehospital care of patients with illness or injury and acts as an useful tool in the education of how to best treat these patients.

Addressing a significant deficiency in pre-hospital educational literature for health care workers, this unique text focuses solely on the pre-hospital care of the elder patient with illness or injury.
