Emergency & Critical Care Pocket Guide, Revised Eighth Edition: .: 9781284237986: Medicine & Health Science Books @ desertcart.com Review: Useful - Great resource, well made. Durable enough. Perfect for paramedic and way better than the ALS version. Some things are under strange categories but once you get used to it, its not a big deal Review: Wealth of updated knowledge - I bought this when I was still a paramedic. I’ve carried this type of field guide for 30+ years. I’d rather have this than an app on a iPhone. But, I’m old school.

MUST HAVE for EMS providers
My paramedic preceptor basically forced me to get this. As a broke student I was hesitant because do I really NEED another book/booklet? Yes. Yes I did. This was awesome for running scenarios in class, looking up info on the way to a call, and now that I'm studying up for my exams. I had a ped anaphylaxis call and it was super easy to look up the information I'd need based on the call notes and get prepared. Definitely took a nerve-wracking call and made me feel significantly more prepared.

POORLY ORGANIZED
First thing's first, this is a fantastic guide. I'm a paramedic student and it has been a GREAT reference while in class, on clinicals, and on the job. With that being said, I have noticed that it is organized in a very weird way, and took a while for me to learn where certain sections are. Some big examples: the "Trauma" section has two pages, 'how to triage' and 'facial fracturs.' Both good sections to include, however, when I think trauma I'm probably looking for my Parkland formula or a GCS score breakdown. The following sections are found under the "Medical Emergencies" Tab: "BURNS" , "ABUSE" , "HEAD INJURIES" , "TRAUMA" (which includes my "pediatric trauma score". Also, why is my "Maternal Cardiac Arrest" section in "Medical Emergencies" instead of "ACLS"? The Spanish translation section is helpful, however it is buried in the "LABS" tab. Again, the information in the guide has proven helpful, however, if I wasn't familiar with the weird layout this guide would be unhelpful in the field when I would need to reference it. I hope the next version of this pocket book is better organized.
