Summary: What The Profession has been waiting for, and needed
Comment: This 5 book series is the premier series on the market today. A very thorough foundation can be layed through this series of books.
There are already a number of good "paramedic textbooks" on the market today but they do lack the depth that is required to produce fully capable paramedics. A 1500 pg book just isn't enough to equip a paramedic with the necessary tools to provide advanced care in the field. it's also a pain to the students who have to buy numerous supplementary titles to make up for what's not in the book. This 5 book series does a lot to reduce the need for supplementary books, though the need is still there. With over 2700p. of information this series has to be the leading in the industry.
Every text has good intro and patient assessment areas but lack in the trauma/medical/special section. This book provides a great section on each of those titles. The cardiology section is much improved from past books. I found that much of the information in the medical and trauma sections are taken straight from AMLS and BTLS/PHTLS texts. It seems with every new version of book that the need for specific area books is reducing. I no longer even read my BTLS book because it's all covered in this series.
With clear art work and pictures it's easy to grasp the concept on many of the more difficult issues and topics. The wording used makes the books even more user friendly. The "key" items that are outlined in the margins are very helpful. I wasn't sure about how well the information would be layed out when I first read the outlines but it was actually beneficial to the learning process to cover things like advanced airway, early.
These books are not cheap, but they are the best on the market that I've seen. I am very happy with these 5 volumes. The industry has produces many excellent paramedics and that can only increase with books like these.
These books need to be seriously reviewed by paramedic instructors and institutions to see if they would be most beneficial to the students. Unlike many paramedic programs, since these sections are broken into 5 different books, you don't need to lug that 1000+ pg book to class every day for months or years.
I love these titles more than any other paramedic texts in my library.Somebody finally thought to break the books down into smaller sections. I was getting really strong lugging around massive books, but this is a nice relief. Thanks to Dr Bledsoe and other writers for making revolutionary texts like these to help aid the profession and raise the bar for all of us.
The only drawback to this series is that the Anatomy, Physiology, Pathology, Pharmacology, and Pathophysiology sections just aren't extensive enough. I have supplemented with others texts to remedy this problem. It's really not the fault of the author. You would have to add another two books to this series to include all that information. No wonder it takes Ontario Paramedics 2 years to learn all this stuff!
The fact that the package arrived at my Toronto home just 5 business days after I placed the order was an added bonus.

Summary: Excellent Foundation for Paramedicine!
Comment: An Excellent set that finally manages to cover all the topics needed for a firm foundation in Paramedicine. Explainations and visuals are insync with each other, alot of other Paramedic books out there are quite confusing. Topics covered are relative to the field and explained as straight forward as medicine can get. Paramedic books are often overwelling in presentation or they lack general knowledge and information needed. It was a organized wonderfully and easy to find selective topic. Great for old and new EMS personel. Many Paramedic courses have adopted this 5 volume set as their main text. Brady has provided an excellent informational and educational set of text books. My Basic book was not as easy as these are to take in. Brady created 5 great volumes; Introduction to adavance prehospital care, Patient assesment, Medical Emergencies, Trauma Emergencies and Special Considerations / Operations. They had an excellent staff to compose such high quality textbooks. You can't go wrong with this set of books!

Summary: Superb!
Comment: Once again, Bledsoe, et. al., have done a magnificent job. I am a working paramedic, and I purchased Paramedic Care to get up to speed on the new curriculum. I am impressed. I believe emergency physicians could even learn something from this series.
I am very pleased to see the expansion of the scope of practice for paramedics. The credibility of EMS professionals continues to grow - due in part to Bledsoe, et. al., and the many, many students who have learned from their textbooks.
