'I can enthusiastically recommend the Manual of Clinical
Paramedic Procedures
as the book that I wish had been available
to me when I was studying to become a paramedic.'


From the foreword by Professor Malcolm Woollard, Chair, College
of Paramedics; Professor in Pre-hospital and Emergency Care &
Director, Pre-hospital, Emergency & Cardiovascular Care Applied
Research Group, Coventry University




Clinical procedures are a fundamental aspect of care for
practitioners working in pre-hospital settings. The Manual of
Clinical Paramedic Procedures
is written specifically to
support the practice of paramedics, ambulance technicians, first
responders and volunteer ambulance personnel. It presents
up-to-date, evidence-based expert knowledge, enabling paramedics to
deliver effective, patient-focused care.


This accessible handbook provides a comprehensive exploration of
core competencies and skills, looking at topics including Aseptic
Technique, Airway Management, Assisted Ventilation, Cardiopulmonary
Resuscitation, Defibrillation and External Cardiac Pacing,
Observations, Pain Assessment & Management, Respiratory
Therapy, Spinal Management and Venepuncture.  Each chapter
provides the relevant anatomy & physiology, evidence-based
rationales for each procedure, and contraindications of use.


Key features:



  • The first UK text to explore clinical procedures for
    paramedics

  • With further reading and illustrations throughout

  • All procedures include the rationale for the action
    recommended

  • Guides paramedics in the clinical application of evidence-based
    procedures
