Emergency Care, 14th Edition, by Daniel Limmer and Michael O’Keefe, has been a standard in EMS education for over 35 years. The text has provided generations of EMT students with the practical information they need to succeed in the classroom and the field.
The new edition aligns the EMT course with the National EMS Education Standards and current AHA guidelines in areas such as airway management and ventilation, patient assessment, medical emergencies, trauma, obstetrics and pediatrics, geriatrics, and ambulance operations. By the end of your studies, you’ll be prepared to assess patients systematically, make scene decisions using case-based thinking, and confidently pursue NREMT certification.
The 14th Edition has been significantly reorganized to incorporate the assessment, treatment, and care of children and older adults. Patient care features have been fine-tuned, and a new Infectious Diseases and Sepsis chapter explores conditions that EMTs commonly encounter.
