According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Americans aged 65 and over comprise 15 percent of the population but account for nearly 40 percent of ambulance transports. This is not surprising given that older adults experience more chronic conditions, multiple diseases, and polypharmacy issues than the rest of the population. Yet despite EMS practitioners' experience in the field, research shows that geriatric trauma patients are often undertriaged to trauma centers. High-quality geriatric-specific education can make a difference. With the right text, EMS practitioners can gain a deeper understanding of how the body ages, how multiple medications can create or exacerbate emergencies, how certain communication techniques can improve assessments, and more. Armed with new knowledge, EMS professionals can learn how to give older patients in their community better emergency care and an improved quality of life. The third edition of Geriatric Education for Emergency Medical Services is authored by experts in the field, reviewed by the American Geriatrics Society (AGS), and endorsed by the National Association of Emergency Medical Technicians (NAEMT). Comprehensive and updated, the new edition addresses the National EMS Education Standards in 15 chapters--covering communication, assessment, trauma, respiratory and cardiovascular emergencies, medication toxicity, elder abuse, and much more. The third edition provides even greater value: - New guidance on how to conduct a comprehensive geriatric assessment - New education on how to correctly triage older patients and transport them to the appropriate level of care - New updates to medications and dosages throughout the book, updates to ILCOR guidelines, the inclusion of COVID-19 considerations, and more Unique in prehospital geriatric education, Geriatric Education for Emergency Medical Services engages EMS personnel in the complexities of geriatric care and prepares them with the updated guidance they need to successfully assess and care for their older patients.

No local, os segundos contam. PHTLS: Suporte de Vida em Trauma Pré-hospitalar ensina e reforça os princípios em avaliar rapidamente um paciente de trauma usando uma abordagem ordenada, tratando imediatamente os problemas com risco de vida, à medida que eles sejam identificados, e minimizando quaisquer atrasos em iniciar o transporte à uma destinação apropriada. Desenvolvido pela Associação Nacional de Técnicos de Emergência Médica (NAEMT) em colaboração com o Colégio Americano do Comitê dos Cirurgiões de Traumas (ASC-COT), o PHTLS, Nona Edição reflete os conhecimentos e práticas atuais com base em evidências, e promove o pensamento crítico como a base para fornecer cuidados de qualidade. Avaliar rapidamente um paciente de trauma para identificar os cuidados de salvamento constitui o centro da nona edição do PHTLS. Leva 2 minutos ou menos para um paciente exsanguinante. Nenhuma outra intervenção pré-hospitalar que os prestadores de cuidado realizam é mais importante do que parar esse nível de sangramento em pacientes de trauma. A fim de refletir isso, o PHTLS, Nona Edição utiliza a mnemônica XABCDE de avaliação do paciente para colocar a hemorragia exsanguinante à frente de cada encontro com o paciente. A importância de XABCDE (hemorragia grave exsanguinante, vias aéreas, respiração, circulação, incapacidade neurológica e exposição ao ambiente) é reforçada em cada capítulo clínico.
