Handbook of First Aid and
Emergency Care

When a medical emergency
strikes, what you do can mean
the difference between life and
death. The American Medical
Association's Handbook of
First Aid and Emergency Care,
Revised Edition, gives you all
the information you need --
quickly, easily, clearly -- so that
you can make the difference.
In this neat, conveniently-sized handbook you'll find
the most up-to-date emergency care information:
The newest CPR positions and techniques to be
used on infants, children, and adults
Injuries, illnesses, and medical emergencies: an
alphabetical listing to help you find the information
you need quickly
Easy-to-follow instructions and clear line drawings
that walk you through each step
What happens in the emergency room; knowing
when to call your doctor or the hospital, and what
information to have ready
A comprehensive index, with complete listings by
subject and symptom for fast reference
When you have to deal with more minor occurrences
-- washing a scraped elbow or knee, or stopping a
nosebleed -- you will feel better knowing that you are
handling the situation in the best way.
