Publisher's Synopsis
"The foundation of this text is the National Emergency Medical Services Education Standards for Emergency Medical Responders and includes the 2023 Focused Updates from the American Heart Association Guidelines for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and First Aid. Unique among Emergency Medical Responder textbooks, this edition again includes references to some of the most current medical literature. This edition places a stronger focus on the language of inclusiveness, recognizing that Emergency Medical Responders and our patients come from a variety of cultures, socioeconomic backgrounds, and life experiences. The new 12th edition retains many of the features found to be successful in previous editions and includes some new topics and concepts that have recently become part of most Emergency Medical Responder programs"--.
