I have been teaching with "Prehospital Emergency Care" since the 5th edition. This edition has not only added a new chapter and updated content to reflect new practices, it has infused the text with a major slap of more advanced concept pathophysiology.For instructors and students: the level of pathophysiology (alpha/beta, pre and afterload, SVR, epinephrine's affect on insulin, RAS, ventilation/perfusion ratio, etc...) is a slow sluggish path to wade through. The National Standards Curriculum does not require such level of specificity and most of the how and why of the pathophysiology will not change the BLS management of a patient. However, there are some questions on the NREMT that relate to these topics.Many of the images and graphs have been updated, but are still quite repetitive.The assessment chapter is a nightmare to get through - as it has been. New EMS students cannot digest 15+ assessment algorithms this quickly. BSI is now "Standard Precautions." There are many changes to oxygen administration.Even with its flaws, it is still the best EMT training text out there.

The book is everything that I needed, it was brand new. The authors did a very poor job improving the book though compared to the last edition. I had hoped that they edited out the many confusing points. Over all, I passed the national reg test. Youtube does a better job explaining some of the points.

This doesn't come with an Access code for the MyPearson Registration and that's what I needed that's why I bought it "New" but the book was just in the box and not sealed.

This book was mandatory for my EMT class and it prepared me for the NREMT exam. Good book and illustrations, it is a bit dated but it hits all the main points needed to prepare those considering a career in Emergency Medicine.

As a state, Maryland is having trouble getting EMT students to pass the written certifying exam on the first try (Pearson issues aside) - this text does an awesome job to prepare the educator and student a well in moving forward to a NREMT standard.

I used this textbook for my class. It was the required text. Generally speaking it was helpful but there are some inconsistencies. I hope the editors/publishers "clean it up" before the next edition. still, it was helpful. I passed my nationals.

I just passed the EMT Basic exam and I give the credit to my instructor and this book. Its topics are broad but not too deep. Right balance of detail to learn the clinical information and to pass the exam without being overwhelmed with complicated medical jargon. Good content layout and graphics. Outstanding book.

The book seems to be very repetitive but overall is a good in depth book. I am about half way through it. Renting the book is good idea.
