Prehospital Emergency Pharmacology is a comprehensive reference guide to the most common medications and fluids used in prehospital emergency care. A cornerstone of EMS education for over 30 years, the text encompasses the most up-to-date practices of emergency care, especially the growing requirement for evidence-based care. A valuable resource for both students and practitioners, it covers accepted practices in the US and Canada, as well as medication dosages meeting national standards of the AMA, AHA and PDR.

The 8th Edition has been extensively revised to reflect current trends in prehospital care. It also examines drugs that are now more commonly used in EMS settings, such as ketamine and haloperidol.
