Paramedic Study Guide

Essential quick reference for both the paramedic student and the practicing field provider. This 6 page durably laminated guide compliments many textbooks and highlights key points that you may be asked on the National Registry or state exams. Organized according to the key categories identified in the US Department of Transportation guidelines for paramedic studies it clearly and concisely covers areas that have traditionally caused students angst, such as medication mathematics, acid-base balance, and cardiology. Includes what field providers will face during testing and practice while focusing on some real-world examples from current state protocols to solidify core concepts. Developed by William (Bill) Dino, MS, NRP, former instructor for ACLS, PALS and CPR, professor of paramedicine and current owner of Red to Black editing, his experience as an educator and author has provided a powerful tool to help those who have made it their mission in life to help others. This guide is by far the least expensive and powerful tool you need so add it to your toolbox to help in study or practice.
