Book Review: ‘Mosby's Emt – Basic Textbook’

Abstract

Pre-hospital care is traditionally a field closely aligned with medical practice, and to date there has been a regretfully small proportion of educational works focusing specifically on this unique environment and the challenges it can present to an EMT or paramedic. Written by staff from the Emergency Medicine Program at the University of Pittsburgh, this text is designed to bridge the gap between traditional medical knowledge such as anatomy and physiology and the distinctive problems that arise only in the pre-hospital care environment.
