The volume takes a practical approach, with case histories covering a broad range of clinical presentations and treatments, all incorporating a patient-centric perspective that acknowledges the longer patient journey. This must-have textbook will not only arm readers with technical knowledge and expertise, but also with the non-technical principles of the profession, developing future paramedics who are able to provide a safe and effective management plan in the out-of-hospital environment. Aligned to UK paramedicine curricula More than 40 detailed case studies covering essential pathologies most commonly seen by UK paramedics, as well as less typical scenarios Evidence-based clinical decision-making models to support paramedics in practice Essential physiological concepts to help readers bridge the gap from principles to practice Focus on the wellbeing of both the patient and the paramedic Useful appendices including medications commonly encountered in paramedic settingsHinweis: Dieser Artikel kann nur an eine deutsche Lieferadresse ausgeliefert werden.
