Product Description
This revised reprint is now updated to reflect the new 2005 emergency cardiac care guidelines. Using a case-based approach, it offers the most realistic view of prehospital emergency care. This unique text is the only case-based text available covering all of the information needed for paramedic refresher and certification preparation and review. In a concise, user-friendly format, the text features basic concepts of patient assessment and treatment, incorporating anatomy, physiology, and pathophysiology in the context of actual patient encounters. Each chapter presents several real-life emergency scenarios. Questions and answers follow for immediate feedback.
- Unique! The only case-based text on the market today for paramedics who are recertifying or taking the National Registry exam for the first time.
- The case-based approach uses actual patient encounters for realistic learning and increased retention to make information more easily applicable in the field.
- The text relates anatomy, physiology, and pathophysiology to patient signs and symptoms to promote understanding at the most basic levels, which means a more thorough grasp of the topic and better performance in the field.
- Content overviews! Each chapter provides a brief summary of the subject matter and integrates the content into patient scenarios to maximize comprehension.
- Each case includes the final diagnosis and outcomes based on actual patient situations.
- Questions, Answers, and Outcomes in each chapter encourage critical thinking skills and help the reader appreciate the consequences of decisions.
A concise, one-column design provides a user-friendly format.
- Updated to reflect the new 2005 emergency cardiac care guidelines.
- Two new chapters - Scene Management and Weapons of Mass Destruction.
- Updated throughout to reflect the most current research, updated pharmacologic interventions, and new treatment standards.

 Great critical thinking book February 26, 2008
This book was actually fun to read, the scenarios were challenging, and made you really think about patho-phys. The situations were not the "typical" EMS scenarios, to be honest, some of them were rather difficult and complex. As a review for the NEMT-P test (I took my re-test two weeks later), I am not so sure of its value. The NREMT-P test tended to be very detail oriented and about "what step comes next", while this book tends to be "big picture". A great education tool for any level paramedic, but should be used an an adjunct to another testing review source.
Great case studies May 9, 2007
This book offered a good review of each chapter and had multiple case studies after each review. A great buy!!
A Great Refresher and a Wonderful Tool for Educators June 25, 2003

This book is written in a case study format that helps practicing paramedics and paramedic students focus on the presenting signs and symptoms of various illnesses and injuries. In addition to that, each case is followed by a number of questions that one can use to study each illness or injury that is covered in the text. Having been a practicing paramedic for almost a decade, I have found that this book is a great way to refresh some of the "not so common" things we in EMS may be called upon to see in a refreshing, new way. I used this book to prepare for the National Registry of EMT's Advanced Level Exam Oral stations and found it to be wonderful. I'd recommend it highly as a source for teaching scenarios for EMS educators as well.
Mosby's Paramedic Refresher and Review - Great Review! March 6, 2001
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
This is an excellent refresher/review for Paramedics. I like it especially since it teaches/refreshes by giving about 50 patient scenarios. You get to do the assessment, then flip the page and see how well you have done. What is also cool is that the book provides a follow-up paragraph that describes the final outcome for the patient.
Good Review July 5, 2000

This is good to review for your paramedic test, even if this is your first time. It has a little review at the begining of each section and then it tells a case and asks questions with the answers on the next page. I think it is a good book.
