Practical Prehospital Care is a revised version of the classic text Prehospital Medicine: The Principles and Practice of Immediate Care, available for the first time in paperback. The text has been reviewed and updated, resulting in a contemporary, comprehensive statement of best practice in prehospital care.

In its new format, Practical Prehospital Care provides a thorough background text for all those involved in the field. Topics covered range from basic life support, through cardiac and respiratory emergencies, therapeutics, paediatrics, chest injuries, spinal injuries and much more, to major incident management, legal aspects, record keeping, training and equipment.

Prehospital care has moved on dramatically since the book was first published in 1999. The present revision embraces the major developments and will be an important part of every prehospital care practitioner's bookshelf.
