AMLS Advanced Medical Life Support 4th Edition

This product includes the print version of the AMLS main text packaged with the AMLS Course Manual eBook. AMLS: Advanced Medical Life Support is the leading course for prehospital practitioners in advanced medical assessment and treatment of commonly encountered medical conditions. Created by the National Association of Emergency Medical Technicians (NAEMT) and endorsed by the National Association of EMS Physicians (NAEMSP), AMLS was the first EMS education program to fully address how to best manage patients in medical crises and today is used around the globe.

What makes AMLS distinctive is its continual focus on using the AMLS Assessment Pathway and critical thinking to rapidly assess patients and formulate effective management plans. AMLS is the only resource approved for use in NAEMT's Advanced Medical Life Support course. The fourth edition's medical content has been revised and updated to reflect current, evidence-based knowledge and practice.

The fourth edition features a new chapter on women's health to help practitioners recognize and address women's medical crises, including postpartum complications. New pharmacology content takes a clinical approach to help practitioners learn to manage drug shortages while still providing appropriate patient care.
