A must-have for any EMS/Fire personnel!

I was first made aware of the EMS Field Guide while in the EMT training portion of my fire academy. We had the 8th edition and we all absolutely loved it. In fact, it came into play in a few training scenarios when we had to figure out why our patient was taking certain drugs. The amount of information in this little books is incredible - it's like an EMT course in your pocket!

For those who are wondering what it contains:
-Airway management
-Resuscitation
-Medical emergencies
-Peds
-Neurologic
-Poisons and Overdoses
-Trauma
-Emergency medications
-Prescription drugs (an AWESOME chapter)
-Abbreviations
-Spell checker
-Phone numbers
-Spanish translations (also awesome!)
-Metric conversions

This guide is color coded, has tons of great visuals, is clean in its design and layout, and makes it simple to reference something on the fly. In fact, there are things that you didn't learn in your EMT class that you'll find in this guide.

The construction is great. It's the size of a standard 3"x5" index card and bound on the top. The pages are made of what I am assuming is a thin plastic. I know that we've rinsed ours off in the fire academy when it got "stuff" on it. So it'll hold up.

This will make a great addition to your toolbox, whether you're an every day EMS practitioner, a firefighter/EMT, or someone who just wants to know what's going on in the EMS world. This is $20 well spent, and it now has a permanent home in my bunker gear.
