'I can enthusiastically recommend the Manual of Clinical
Paramedic Procedures as the book that I wish had been available
to me when I was studying to become a paramedic.'

From the foreword by Professor Malcolm Woollard, Chair, College
of Paramedics; Professor in Pre-hospital and Emergency Care &
Director, Pre-hospital, Emergency & Cardiovascular Care Applied
Research Group, Coventry University

Clinical procedures are a fundamental aspect of care for
practitioners working in pre-hospital settings. The Manual of
Clinical Paramedic Procedures is written specifically to
support the practice of paramedics, ambulance technicians, first
responders and volunteer ambulance personnel. It presents
up-to-date, evidence-based expert knowledge, enabling paramedics to
deliver effective, patient-focused care.

This accessible handbook provides a comprehensive exploration of
core competencies and skills, looking at topics including Aseptic
Technique, Airway Management, Assisted Ventilation, Cardiopulmonary
Resuscitation, Defibrillation and External Cardiac Pacing,
Observations, Pain Assessment & Management, Respiratory
Therapy, Spinal Management and Venepuncture. Each chapter
provides the relevant anatomy & physiology, evidence-based
rationales for each procedure, and contraindications of use.

Key features:

* The first UK text to explore clinical procedures for
paramedics

* With further reading and illustrations throughout

* All procedures include the rationale for the action
recommended

* Guides paramedics in the clinical application of evidence-based
procedures

"The content is both contemporary and reflective of evidence based practice. Written by paramedics for paramedics. A rarity indeed. A must read for all in the profession." (Journal of Paramedic Practice, July 2010)
