"This succinct, problem-orientated text explains the pathophysiology of disease states commonly encountered by the pre-hospital care provider and gives detailed guidelines for using that knowledge to effectively manage the disease or disorder involved. The book, intended for providers of pre-hospital medical care at all levels of training, explains the ""what, how and why"" of common disorders, showing how to use that information clinically. It aims to make a better paramedic by answering ""why"" a particular drug is being given and ""how"" the natural history of a patient unfolds, facilitating an efficient transfer from pre-hospital provider care to physician care."
