Amls Advanced Medical Life Support: An Assessment-based Approach

As a newer paramedic I often found myself wishing I was better at differential diagnosis. Progressing through my career I've learned things through experience and sometimes wished I could learn more about diagnosing what's going on with my patients prior to coming across it in the field and just making an educated guess. This book is full of very good information about how very specific conditions will present to you. I purchased it to take the AMLS class and would definitely recommend not only this purchase, but the class to any EMS providers out there!

I took this course at the end of medoc school, and actually found it to be more helpful than my medic book. It's obviously geared more towards a critical care background, but the differential diagnosis practice was great for our class. There seems to be very little filler as opposed to other books I've seen.

Great book!This book is full of all kinds of information in regards to the medical field to help providers be able to perform differential diagnoses. Great book! Great information!

I am a paramedic in Texas and I work for 911 in a large, multi-demographic population. This book expanded my knowledge and gave me more clinical "tools" to assess and treat my patients. I would recommend this book and class offered by NAEMT.

This book is great and is filled with a different way to look at all aspects of medical scenarios. I took the AMLS class for continuing education credits and learned more than expected. I'd recommend this book and the AMLS class to all paramedics.

The AMLS book and course are designed for the experienced health care provider as a review and expansion of knowledge. This class helps give experienced paramedics a new approach to patient care.

Decent. Not sure that it was necessary for the course.

Advanced Medical Life Support makes for better paramedics. This class should be a mandatory class for all paramedics.

Great book

Very informative! Highly recommend for people entering the medical field

AMLSコース受講のために購入したが、テキストの内容が良かった。英語なのでコース受講までに通読できなかったが。。第一章ではAMLSのパスウェイの解説だけでなく、患者面接の方法論、全身診察の簡単なレビューが記載されており、上手くまとまっている印象であった。他の章でも同様に病態生理や解剖学、診察方法、病名ごとの疫学、所見、治療がコンパクトに網羅的にまとめてある。取り分け印象に残ったのが中毒の章で、医薬品の中毒から生活用品、生物毒、大量破壊兵器まで幅広くコンパクトにまとめてある。1章あたり50ページくらいで、理解度確認の問題もついているので、医学英語を学ぶ教材としても使用できるかもしれない。さらにアンドロイドアプリ(EMS merit)でもAMLSの問題に取り組める。通読できない場合はコース受講前に5 killer chest painやAIUEOTIPS、ショック、5 killer sore throat、腹痛の分布と罹患臓器の関係などを復習しておくといくらか役に立つだろう。

very interesting and complete, i find myself using this product almost every day to review information that I have encounterd with my patients.

The book is most definitely full of advanced knowledge, very useful and full of examples and pictures. 100% worth buying.
