Like no other textbook in this market, Critical Care Transport thoroughly prepares medical professionals to function as competent members of a critical care team by covering the material that everyone--paramedics, nurses, physicians, and specialty crew--needs to know to operate effectively in the prehospital critical care environment. This book meets the curricula of major critical care training programs, including University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC). It covers both ground and flight transport, and meets the objectives of critical care transport certification exams such as the Certified Flight Paramedic (FP-C) exam administered by the Board for Critical Care Transport Paramedic Certification. The International Association of Flight Paramedics (IAFP), which provides advocacy, leadership development, and educational opportunities for critical care paramedics, has endorsed Critical Care Transport! |
