Patient assessment and management combine to create an interwoven sequence of events that requires paramedics to perform a systematic assessment of the patient and determine what treatment is most appropriate and when it needs to be given. Trauma Case Studies for the Paramedic contains 20 case studies representing a variety of trauma emergencies that paramedics may encounter in the field.
Trauma Case Studies for the Paramedic is intended to reinforce the importance of a systematic patient assessment and management approach to paramedic students by presenting them with trauma emergencies that they are likely to encounter. A superb supplement to classroom and textbook learning, this book allows the reader to practice applying knowledge to cases before actually going on an emergency call.
