A standard in EMS education for over 35 years
Emergency Care has provided generations of EMT students with the practical information they need to succeed in the classroom and the field. Using the National EMS Education Standards as a foundation, the text reflects the most current EMS practices. Critical-thinking and decision-based features help students integrate need-to-know material into real-life scenarios.
The 14th Edition has been significantly reorganized to incorporate the assessment, treatment and care of children and older adults. Patient care features have been fine-tuned, and a new Infectious Diseases and Sepsis chapter explores the infectious diseases EMTs encounter.
