EMS & Fire Science (Brady)

This emergency care manual offers a refreshing and effective new approach to helping non-medical personnel develop the skills and confidence needed in the event of a serious illness or injury. “Not just another first aid book,” it prepares students to (1) recognize a possible emergency, (2) decide to take action, (3) make the “Right Call” (to EMS) and (4) provide appropriate life support measures which can minimize deterioration of a patient’s condition until help arrives.

• Complies with newly established D.O.T. guidelines for “Bystander Care.”

• Meets or exceeds O.S.H.A.’s standards and requirements for emergency care training of non-medical workers.

• Includes Infants and Children C.P.R.

• Features a Foreword written by Peter Safar, M.D.

• Emphasizes life support actions rather than memorization of complex diagnostic signs.

• Helps students learn to cope with the intense emotions that occur in a time of emergency.

• Features coverage that is educationally sound and medically accurate.

• Integrates highlighted boxes (Important Points, Exceptions and Caution) that focus on specific actions and the rationale behind them.
