American Medical Association Handbook of First Aid and Emergency Care Paperback – May 5, 2009

From Library Journal
This much-needed revision of the AMA’s Handbook (LJ 10/1/80) ranks as one of the best in a plethora of first-aid guides. The previous edition’s introductory essays on general procedures have been retained, but this edition has added sections on such things as the Heimlich maneuver. The main section, alphabetically arranged entries on injuries and diseases, is in the same format as the previous edition; each entry includes background information, a “what to do” list, symptoms, continued care, and immediate treatment. A new section on sports injuries has been added as Part 3. Although designed for home use (with fill-in charts for emergency phone numbers and family member medical history), this book has a place on the shelf of any medical reference collection.

Part I of this book includes planning for emergencies. Topics covered are safeguarding your home against accidents, what to tell medical personnel when an emergency situation occurrs and medical charts to fill out for family members.
Emergency procedures, i.e., CPR and the Heimlach Maneuver, are highlighted with red on the edge of the book for quick reference.
Other areas covered are recognizing medical problems, snake and insect bites and sports injuries.
This is a great book to keep with a First Aid Kit.
Very informative and up to date information. I learned a lot more in this book than in taking a first aid class. Illustrations are used when needed to explain how to perform a technique. It is a good tool to have if you want to be prepared for an emergency situation or even if you want to know how to dress a minor wound.
This book is great for when little Jimmy scrapes his knee. This book is great when you have a medical professional 5 minutes away. If you are looking for survival/emergency guide this is not it.
