Description
For EMS Continuing Medical Education course; EMT-B, EMT-I, and Paramedic courses; and NAEMT's Pediatric Prehospital Care course.
Designed to help both Basic Life Support and Advanced Life Support providers, this exceptionally current, comprehensive volume serves as a core text for initial pediatric training at all levels-CFR, EMT-B, EMT-1, and EMT-P-and a convenient reference and refresher on cutting-edge developments and standards for experienced providers. Also a good resource for professionals doing interfacility transports. Unique in perspective, it features an assessment/problem-based approach to prehospital pediatrics that links the process of assessment to treatment-carefully and precisely illustrated with case scenarios and task analysis. It covers the full range of pediatric emergencies and the National Standards curriculum.
