As the required textbook for NAEMT's worldwide prehospital trauma life support courses, Prehospital Trauma Life Support (PHTLS) is the definitive source for learning basic and advanced prehospital trauma skills and concepts for both basic and advanced providers. Now revised and expanded to cover all aspects of prehospital trauma - with new chapters on burns, wilderness trauma, tactical considerations, weapons of mass destruction, and triage and disaster management - the 6th edition has become the ultimate trauma text for any EMS provider! The 6th edition is also ideal for use as the trauma component of a EMT or paramedic course or as a general reference tool on trauma assessment and management.
