For courses in prehospital emergency care

The most complete resource for EMT training. Prehospital Emergency Care helps students move seamlessly from assessment to diagnosis to emergency care for life-threatening conditions and injuries. By offering a foundation of pathophysiology, Mistovich conveys the 'why' of signs, symptoms and recommended care. In doing so, he helps students confidently assess and interpret findings, deliver excellent emergency care and prepare for success on credentialing exams.

The 12th Edition meets 2021 National EMS Education Standards. It reflects the latest and best emergency medical services in the US, including the American Heart Association's 2020 Guidelines for CPR and ECC.
