The 2nd Edition covers the latest treatment guidelines and uses of medication, while enhancing content to support the clinical-reasoning approach. With a chapter-opening Case Study at the start of each chapter, you’ll be guided through real-life EMT emergencies. Then, at the end of each chapter, Case Study Wrap-ups reveal the clinical-reasoning process used by the Advanced EMT to resolve the problems in each case study.
