Nancy Caroline's Emergency Care in the Streets, Ninth Edition is the newest evolution of the premier paramedic education training program. This legendary paramedic textbook was first developed by Dr. Nancy Caroline in the early 1970s and transformed paramedic education. Today, lead editors Bob Elling and Barb Aehlert, along with the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, are proud to continue this legacy and set the new gold standard for the paramedics of tomorrow. The Ninth Edition offers cutting-edge, evidence-based content that meets or exceeds the most current scientific recommendations developed by the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR) and the ECC Guidelines established by the American Heart Association and other resuscitation councils around the world. Clear chapter objectives align with the 2019 National EMS Scope of Practice Model and 2021 EMS Education Standards. Thoroughly reviewed by medical doctors and subject-matter experts, the Ninth Edition teaches students the technical skills required of today's paramedic while emphasizing other important professional attributes, including critical thinking, empathy, teamwork, communication, problem solving, and personal well-being. Taking a systemic approach to the assessment and management of traumatic and medical emergencies, and devoting entire chapters to special topics, such as mass-casualty incidents, the Ninth Edition covers the full scope of paramedic practice.
Paramedic students have reported struggling with:
Time management. Each week, you’ll have class, study time, clinical rotations, and often a job to balance. Be prepared to put your social life on hold and cut out nonessentials. Paramedic school is not the time to make major life changes such as moving or getting married.
Cardiology. Learn how to read an EKG and identify common rhythms. One commonly recommended resource is Rapid Interpretation of EKGs .
Drugs and pharmacology. During clinicals and field internships, you will be expected to know your medications thoroughly. Flashcards can help with actions, indications, doses, and contraindications.
People skills. If you enter paramedic school without street experience as an EMT, you may initially feel uncomfortable around patients and hospital personnel. This improves with practice, but you must ask for help when you need it.
As an EMS student, paramedic school will test the limits of your ability. Since it is such a large commitment, it is important to understand both the program requirements and your personal readiness, then take the steps necessary to close that gap.
