Critical care paramedics regularly perform advanced life support to patients during the most stressful and time-sensitive situations. Not only do they require specialist medical knowledge in order to care for critically ill patients, but they are also often expected to think quickly and keep calm under pressure.

Putting you in the centre of the action as a critical care paramedic, this book brings together a range of in-depth case studies on critical care. It first presents you with a scenario, and then delves deep into the case details in order to challenge and assess your wider understanding of the situation.

KEY FEATURES INCLUDE:

Over 35 in-depth case studies covering Leadership, Airway, Resuscitation, Cardiac Arrest, Medical Emergencies, Trauma, Paediatrics, Obstetrics and Toxicology

Contributions from a range of international, specialist authors.

Question and answer-based format to break down your learning into easily digestible sections with full-colour illustrations.

Self-reflective questions to enable you to think critically about patient care

Fully evidence-based and up-to-date with the latest guidance for international best practice.

The book will allow you to further your understanding and knowledge of critical care, whether studying for exams, working within an aeromedical environment or providing life-saving care on the ground.
