Product Description
A comprehensive guide to treating emergency victims of all ages in any situation. The American College of Emergency Physicians in association with Dorling Kindersley Publishing, has created an essential and comprehensive first aid manual. The treatments and techniques are explained in step-by-step format and illustrated with hundreds of photographs showing exactly how to perform them correctly. A 32-page emergency section at the end of the book sums up the most important life-saving procedures, including rescue breathing, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, treatment for a blocked airway, and other life-threatening situations. Illustrated anatomical sections explain the key concepts underlying first-aid techniques.

 Thorough and informative February 5, 2010
S. J Mahoney (Washington State)
I bought this book as part of my first aid and disaster preparation library. It is small enough to include in most first aid kits (about 8"x6" and 1/2" thick. It has instructions for emergencies ranging from how to make a sling to what to do if your kid loses a tooth! It also has pretty good information for kids so I feel that my additional purchase of

was unnecessary. The only complaint I have is that the CPR information is not up to date. It lists 15 compressions with 2 breaths and the latest resuscitation guidelines lists 30 compressions and 2 breaths.
I supplement the photos and instructions in this manual with videos from youtube. Between these two resources I am quickly relearning all the first aid basics that I have long since forgotten!

A must have for every household February 4, 2010
Dwayne Williams (SoCal)
This book is a must have. It covers virtually anything that can go wrong and outlines what to do in a very clear manner. I bought this book to suplement my family's earthquake kit. It's organized very well and can be easily refrenced in an emergency situation with it's simple language and demonstration photos. It packs a wealth of information into a small book and after skimming through it I know I picked the right book for my family. Get this book you won't regret it!!
Great Reference! July 4, 2009

I was really thankful for this book when I had to play camp nurse for a week, and am not especially trained in all things first aid. When should you send someone to the hospital? It's there. What can you do for those emergency personnel to be arriving soon? It's there. Many pictures for those visual people and covers most first aid scenarios that could happen from the head to the toe. It shows how to use what you have in most cases, but also what is helpful to have if you are in preparation mode. It's easy to refer to with color coded pages, and short, easy to read instructions on what to do, but also gives information on what might be happening and how to tell the difference between a strain and a sprain for example. From sprains and abrasions to heart attacks and heatstrokes, it is a very helpful tool for the medically trained and for those who are not trained in the medical field. I highly recommend it.
Keeping it handy and simple November 2, 2008
