Paramedic Case Studies

Written as a learning tool for ambulance clinicians, this collection presents a series of detailed, narrative scenarios drawn from prehospital practice. Each case places the reader directly in the middle of the incident, and colour illustrations help bring the setting to life. Along the way, readers are prompted to consider what they would do at each stage, with the accompanying discussion explaining the sound choices and the steps that give a patient the best chance of a good outcome.

The cases began as monthly features in Standby CPD and have since been revised to reflect current guidance and research. The book also includes new material that has not appeared elsewhere. Each chapter explores treatment and management in up-to-date detail, alongside explanations of the relevant anatomy, physiology and pathophysiology, with the evidence base set out throughout.

The book suits working ambulance staff who want to test their knowledge of common and current areas of paramedic practice, and it will also serve those still training before qualifying.
