Synopsis "Prehospital Detective: Analyzing Clues to Enhance Patient Care"

EMS and other prehospital patient care providers use many methods similar to a detective in their patient assessments. This book discusses clues that can be gathered to reach a preliminary prehospital diagnosis, and to make decisions about appropriate treatment, transport, documentation, and communication to other caregivers. Other resources included in the appendices provide information on patient medications, devices and chronic medical problems. A language dictionary and information on many toxins are included, as well as an overview of common prehospital treatments, and a summary of AHA cardiac treatment guidelines.
