Published in conjunction with the
American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) and the American College of
Emergency Physicians (ACEP), Critical Care Transport offers
cutting edge content relevant to any healthcare provider training in critical
care transport.
Like no other textbook in this market, Critical Care Transport thoroughly prepares medical professionals to function as competent members of a critical care team by covering the material that everyone—paramedics, nurses, physicians, and specialty crew—needs to know to operate effectively in the prehospital critical care environment.
This book meets the curricula of major critical care training programs, including University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC). It covers both ground and flight transport, and meets the objectives of critical care transport certification exams such as the Certified Flight Paramedic (FP-C) exam administered by the Board for Critical Care Transport Paramedic Certification.
Content includes information
specific to prehospital critical care transport, such as flight physiology, lab
analysis, hemodynamic monitoring, and specialized devices such as the
intra-aortic balloon pump. Standard topics such as airway management, trauma,
and pharmacology are covered in the context of critical care. Chapters have been
authored by leading critical care professionals across the country and represent
the most current, state-of-the-art information on management of critical care
patients.
