Advanced Medical Life Support (AMLS) is the leading course for prehospital practitioners in advanced medical assessment and treatment of commonly encountered medical conditions. Endorsed by the National Association of EMS Physicians, the course emphasizes the use of the AMLS Assessment Pathway, a systematic assessment tool that enables EMS practitioners to diagnose medical patients with urgent accuracy. In the Second Edition of AMLS, students learn to recognize, assess, and manage common medical crises in patients. Topics covered include: respiratory disorders, cardiovascular disorders, shock, neurologic disorders, abdominal disorders, endocrine and metabolic disorders, infectious diseases, environmental-related disorders, and toxicologic emergencies. Critical thinking scenarios encourage interaction and challenge students to apply their knowledge to realistic situations. During the scenarios, students: • Are at the patient’s side from arrival on scene to delivery to the hospital. • Assess, review, and discern the possible diagnosis of the patient. • Choose the next step to take on the AMLS Assessment Pathway. • Con¬firm the final diagnosis and provide ongoing prehospital management of the patient. New to the Second Edition: • Refined AMLS Assessment Pathway. • Clear emphasis on the BLS provider and integration with ALS throughout the assessment process. • Expanded content on highly critical patients. • Expanded content on environmental-related disorders. • Expanded content on infectious diseases.

This is the newest version that is to be used. We worked off a power point, and some book study. The book is perfect for the class content. All in all not a bad book!! Though there is two different versions, the ALS and the BLS covered in the book. There are two different tests for the ALS and BLS at class end. Both tests support the book, if you kept up in your book, the test shouldn't be very hard.

Great book. Has wonderful information. Good book for refreshing.

It was delivered just as described
