I'm a Paramedic and have always carried the Field Guide while on shift. It gives me quick and easy access to information such as prescription drugs or Pediatric recommended dosages. My Smart phone is only smart when I have a cell signal and often it will not function in the back of the ambulance. I recommend this book to all EMS workers.
Recieved this reference guide a few weeks ago. I am in paramedic school and we are allowed to use references on tests. So I got this to use instead of the massive 5 book series we could use instead. It has a lot of ueful info and I would definitely take it into the field as it is sometimes hard to remember all the doses for all the meds, especially pedi doses. Highly recommend getting this and keeping it on you in you're a medic or in medic school. Just be aware of your states protocols as they will vary slightly.
Item was exactly what I was looking for - everything seems in tact so far. Ordered this to keep either on my person or in my jump bag as a quick reference as an EMT. It's always good to keep a "hardcopy reference" in the event your digital versions become unreliable (I tend to rely on my Android a lot, but our metro is surrounded by rural areas - can never totally predict the availability of such technologies). Spiral bound, plastic coated sheets, and small enough for a tactical pant side pocket or a small pocket of a bag.Price was very reasonable, compared to in-store prices. Shipped in the exact amount of time that was both expected & stated by /seller's time frame. Would definitely order again - thanks!
I purchased this for the wifey to use during her paramedic school. Needless to say.....I got major brownie points and she did wear a naughty nurse costume to thank me. I look at it and see weird squiggly lines with occasional numbers. If you are in the medical field I'm sure you can decipher the hieroglyphics.
I really like the format of these pocket guides although this one in particular turns out to be more advanced that I was hoping for. As its titled, this one in particular is more suited for an EMT or EMT in training. As with the other pocket guide I've purchased (home), these are easy carry and navigate. The two that I've purchased both have the boiled-down version of many medical emergency situations and topics - CPR, childbirth, you know. The layout (tabs on bottom) as well as color coded instructions are key in helping you find what you need fast. These also appear to be the most recent and updated methods for dealing with CPR for adults and infant/children.
I was a bit surprised at how thick this was. There is a lot of useful information in there though. I was also surprised at how thin the pages felt. They feel flimsy considering it will be in the field with me and likely in not so great situations. Maybe its some special material that will hold up better then it seems but I don't want to test it and tear it up if it is indeed flimsy. I will use it and hope it lasts.
A review is not needed. Anybody that actually works EMS knows these field guides and probably has several lying around as new versions come out with new ACLS guidelines. If you work an ambulance or emergency department you probably have this one or the critical care version in your pocket. EMT-Basics and 1st Responders have the BLS version.
My friend pocket inseparable. Easy to handle, practical information. The tabs provide easy access to find and read the items. Updated version, including new guidelines from the American Heart Association. Another product that I recommend
