Nancy Caroline’s Emergency Care in the Streets, Ninth Edition, is the definitive resource for paramedic education, continuing a legacy established in the early 1970s. Developed by the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS), with lead editors Bob Elling and Barb Aehlert, this edition sets the new gold standard for aspiring paramedics. It delivers cutting-edge, evidence-based content, aligning with the latest scientific recommendations from the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR) and the ECC Guidelines established by the American Heart Association. Chapter objectives are meticulously crafted to meet the 2019 National EMS Scope of Practice Model and the 2021 EMS Education Standards. Expertly reviewed by medical doctors and subject-matter specialists, this textbook not only imparts essential technical skills but also cultivates crucial professional attributes such as critical thinking, empathy, teamwork, communication, problem-solving, and personal well-being. Adopting a systematic approach to the assessment and management of both traumatic and medical emergencies, and featuring dedicated chapters on specialized areas like mass-casualty incidents, the Ninth Edition comprehensively covers the full spectrum of paramedic practice. Key updates include gender-neutral language, enhanced inclusivity, and non-stigmatizing patient descriptions. New “Street Smarts” boxes highlight the vital “soft skills” expected of modern paramedics, while updated imagery reflects current Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) relevant to the COVID-19 era. Significant emphasis is placed on current spinal motion restriction guidelines, and references, statistics, and case studies have been thoroughly revised. CPR and ACLS algorithms have been updated to reflect the latest AHA guidelines. This comprehensive package includes the Textbook, Instructor Guide, Practice Activities, Audiobook, Assessments, Analytics, and Slides.
