Foster an understanding of how to serve ALL patients in real-life situations Professional photos supply a combination of realistic and real-life emergency images to prepare students for what they will see in the field. Pediatric and Geriatric assessment care and treatment is integrated throughout the text. This significant organizational change allows for each chapter to include patient scenarios that cover a range of ages giving students continuous practice in considering age as simply a factor in their overall information gathering and assessment. The Patient Care feature that appears in clinical chapters has been fine-tuned to address Principles of Care FIRST followed by actions that the EMT may need to employ in caring for the patient. With this important development change actions are not numbered because there is no one correct sequence for patient care. The EMT must continually base decisions and priority actions on the evolving condition of the patient. The Secondary Assessment chapter was reworked into three more focused chapters that cover specific aspects of the EMT’s role and care of patients. The Infectious Diseases and Sepsis chapter Chapter 24 gives an overview of common infectious diseases that EMTs may encounter describes the conditions that lead to sepsis and provides signs that sepsis may be occurring. The Operations section of the book Section 7 includes new triage procedures and updated guidelines for handling incident scenes. Understand and go beyond the standards All chapters throughout the text conform to the most current American Heart Association Guidelines for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Emergency Cardiovascular Care.
