 - Handy BookI would not use this book in the field to determine dosages but it is a nice reference to give you an idea of what the drug is, how it works, and what its used for. Rating:  - Invaulable!!!It fits easily into your pocket and is a complete drug reference resource that will cover the drugs of any medical protocol. Rating: - An outstanding field referenceI have used this book in the field and found it to be an asset. This is a must have for any paramedic. The Home Medication section in the back is the most important for me. It is hard to keep up with the new drug out now, never mind remembering what classification they are. I found this very thorough as far as medic field medications and the explanations, interactions, contraindications, etc.. for each. A must for all students. As said in another review, waterproof pages would make this book a 5+. Rating: - Great ResourceThis was on the recommended list of books that we get for my Paramedic class and I decided to get it. It is a great resource for gaining information. I have found it not only usful in the classroom but in the field as well, even when I am working as a Basic EMT at the EMS agency I work for and when I am doing my student time, not only with EMS but in the hospital as well. I highly recommend this book to any EMS student or provider and even any angency as a book to have handy! Rating:  - Good detailed referenceThis book was a requirement for my paramedic class (Washington State). It had every drug I needed to look up and gives detailed information about each drug, it's use, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, side effects, contraindications, side effects, and pre-hospital considerations. However, there are some differences of opinion on some of the drug dosages and uses with my teachers, fellow students, paramedics and other drug guide manuals. Over all I'd say a good reference, but not the end-all be-all. A useful tool in conjunction with others. Also, it's pages are not weather resistant like other EMS pocket guides. I rarely use it in the field. However, it's been useful for other study purposes. I'd recommend buying a used copy. |
