EMT and EMS training with digital integration
Prepare students for the reality of being an EMT on the street using current information and tools that meet their needs.
National-level standards
Emergency Care exceeds national EMS education standards and AHA guidelines for cardiopulmonary resuscitation and emergency cardiovascular care, so trainees can provide expert levels of care.
Integrated approach
Lessons combine assessment, care, and treatment throughout the text to facilitate learning and retention. When students work as EMTs, they know which decisions to make and how to carry them out.
Clear objectives
Each chapter begins with the learning goals, concepts, outcomes, and key terms. Providing context up front helps both the teacher and the students draw connections throughout the lessons to deepen topical understanding.
Broadened scope of patient care
The text has been updated throughout to address assessing, caring for, and treating children and older adults. Students learn how to refine their techniques to meet the needs of some of their youngest and oldest patients.
