Paramedic Care: Principles & Practice, Volume 1, offers EMS students and professionals a foundational and reference guide to paramedicine. Designed to stay ahead of industry trends and practices, the series meets current National EMS Education Standards and Paramedic Instructional Guidelines.

Critical-thinking opportunities include a running case study linking content to real-world scenarios and a You Make the Call feature giving learners practice applying principles. Procedure scans illustrate the step-by-step performance of core skills, while patient care algorithms offer graphical “pathways” integrating care and assessment.

For the 6th Edition, the 5 volumes of this series have been condensed into 2, streamlining content for students and instructors alike. The new edition further emphasizes clinical applications and critical thinking, while aligning content with the latest guidance and standards.
