Summary: Excellent Reference
Comment: This book was required for my pharmacology class for paramedicine. It's an excellent text book, but watch for several misprints on drug dosages, (ex: milligrams instead of micrograms on drips). It made me pretty confused when the book indicated my calculations were incorrect when I knew I had the correct dose. I brought it to the attention of my teacher (retired medic) and he confirmed the misprints. Besides that, and excellent text.

Summary: Excellent Resource
Comment: This is not a how to guide so this is not for beginners. This is more for a person who already has a foundation in fluid replacement. This is the stuff paramedics need to be reading after they've already has basic training in pharmacology. The book is a little too bulky to be carried around, unless you've got a place to store it on an engine or ambulance.
This book presents a detailed description of prehospital drugs, their class, mechanism of action, indications for use, contradictions, precautions, side effects, interactions, dosage, and how they are to be given. It is very extensive. The information in the book is what medication administering paramedics need to know. What the medications do and how they act is so vital to understand in the field, too important for one to be ignorant of them. This book has a hard back, so it will last until the book becomes outdated. There are 85 different drugs in this textbook. This nis the most practical reference textbook about prehospital pharmacology that I've come across. pediatric considerations and home medications are givena attention too. There are also some basic practical medication administration questions.
It would be a great compliment to a paramedic textbook(s) or paramedic course. As well as a handy reference book for the library.

Summary: Prehospital Emergency Pharmacology review
Comment: An absolute for the serious paramedic and students alike. This book provides detailed information on pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics, with the paramedic in mind. The book utilizies a systematic approach starting with the fundamentals and advances to more complex pharmacological topics. Recently revised, Prehospital Emergency Pharmacology, includes new emergency drug updates, AHA algorithms, home meds and more. To be an outstanding prehospital practicioner, an intimate knowledge of pharmacology is a necessity. To maintain that knowledge base, Dr. Bledsoe's book is a must.
