Description
First Response Foundations is a practical, learner-focused guide to first response and pre-hospital emergency care, designed to support people developing their knowledge and skills throughout their responder career.
Written in a clear and accessible style, the book introduces the principles of patient assessment, clinical decision-making and emergency care while explaining not only what to do, but why it matters.
The book covers a wide range of common medical and traumatic emergencies, including structured patient assessment, catastrophic haemorrhage, airway and breathing problems, circulation and shock, altered levels of consciousness, cardiac emergencies, cardiac arrest, AED use, medical emergencies, trauma and safe patient management.
Throughout the book, learning is supported by practical explanations, clinical reasoning, illustrations, revision material, scenarios and knowledge-check questions. The emphasis is on developing confident, safe and structured approaches that can be applied in real-world first-response situations.
First Response Foundations is suitable for learners beginning their responder journey and for those continuing to develop their knowledge towards higher levels of pre-hospital and emergency care education.
It is designed as a practical learning and reference resource for first responders, emergency care learners and others seeking to build a strong foundation in pre-hospital emergency care.
