Emergency Care Summary

Emergency Care by Michael F. O'Keefe

This new Eighth Edition of EMERGENCY CARE has been thoroughly revised and improves the flow of information while meeting the new curriculum requirements. The authors have rewritten the entire assessment module and present the material in a logically developed sequence to reflect the way many instructors actually teach this course. The "FYI" material has been incorporated into the text of the chapters and is clearly distinguished from the "need to know" material. The book has been redesigned and over 200 new photos and art have been added. Full-color scans illustrate in step-by-step fashion many of the procedures presented in the text.
