Drug Guide for Paramedics (2nd Edition),   ISBN:9780131936454

Customer Rating: 

This little med guide is another great tool for the medic. It has all the information one needs on emergency medications. It may be alittle indepth for use on the truck, but for fast, easy reference it is a must.

I'm in my fifth week of a year-long Paramedic Academy. This book wasn't on any of our lists, either required or recommended. None of our required reading (INCLUDING THE DRUG CARDS IN THE BRADY PARAMEDIC WORKBOOKS) had any helpful, succinct, well organized information on the drugs we needed to know. We were all having trouble with pharmacology, until someone stumbled on this book. We have all found or bought copies at this point, and they are exactly what we needed. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Customer Rating: 

I would not use this book in the field to determine dosages but it is a nice reference to give you an idea of what the drug is, how it works, and what its used for.

Customer Rating: 

It fits easily into your pocket and is a complete drug reference resource that will cover the drugs of any medical protocol.

I have used this book in the field and found it to be an asset. This is a must have for any paramedic. The Home Medication section in the back is the most important for me. It is hard to keep up with the new drug out now, never mind remembering what classification they are. I found this very thorough as far as medic field medications and the explanations, interactions, contraindications, etc.. for each. A must for all students.
As said in another review, waterproof pages would make this book a 5+.
