Synopsis
Paramedics must perform a systematic assessment of the patient,
determine appropriate treatment, and give it. While assessment and
management principles are learned in initial training, they are
not practiced until training is completed. Now, paramedic students
can apply these principles with Medical Case Studies for the Paramedic.
Medical Case Studies for the Paramedic presents
20 case studies on the most important medical emergencies for the
ALS-level reader. A superb supplement to classroom and textbook
learning, this book allows the reader to practice applying knowledge
to cases before actually going on an emergency call.
