Rezensionen

'Pre-hospital Emergency Medicine at a Glance covers the essentials in an easy-to-digest formula. This volume continues the trend of good quality information, covering enough to give readers a firm and solid grounding in the subject of pre-hospital emergency medicine (PHEM).

The book also acts as an aide-memoire for the more experienced health professional. Each segment is illustrated with easily understandable and colourful diagrams, as well as tables with the most relevant information, which is great for quick reference ... This volume is likely to be well-received as a concise, well-thought-out reference that contains both up-to-date and emerging techniques used by ambulance personnel and specialist PHEM practitioners.' - Journal of Paramedic Practice
