Author
Damien Draconum

A complete EMT textbook in one volume. It covers every topic in the National EMS Education Standards, explains it in plain English, follows the 2025 American Heart Association resuscitation guidelines, and stays inside what an EMT is allowed to do.

  • 43 chapters, from the EMS system and scene safety through airway, assessment, medical and trauma emergencies, special populations and EMS operations
  • Every term defined, with its pronunciation, where it is first met
  • Step-by-step skills with the critical steps marked
  • Labeled anatomy plates and original illustrations, chapter summaries and worked case studies

An educational text. It does not replace an approved EMT course, a medical director or local protocols. Not affiliated with or endorsed by the NREMT, the American Heart Association or any EMS agency.
