Updated to reflect the most recent tests and requirements, this manual prepares candidates for the Emergency Medical Technician Exam, a prerequisite for their qualifying license. Qualifications vary somewhat on a regional basis, but EMT certification is nationally recognized.

Separate chapters cover patient assessment, medical/behavioral emergencies, environmental emergencies, obstetrics/gynecology with new AHA guidelines, trauma, treating infants and children, and ambulance operation in emergencies. Two full-length practice EMT Basic Exams that reflect the test administered by the U.S. Department of Transportation are also included with answers and explanations.
