Summary: Excellent resource
Comment: I'm a new EMT-B and I bought this book for more in-depth explanations about what we were learning in the EMTB national curriculum. This book combines both the "why" and the "how" for trauma. The first chapter is a bit dry, but the chapters on shock, head injuries, and spinal trauma, for example, are first rate. I never could figure out why PASG (MAST) usage was presented so vaguely in the AAOS textbook. Well, this manual just comes out and explains that the use of the PASG is controversial and often ineffective. Thumbs up, even if you aren't taking the course (although I hope to this year)!

Summary: Very GRAPHIC, lot's of procedures, but a little basic
Comment: I bought this book in order to take the PHTLS exam, and i found a extremely GRAPHIC and well organized BOOK, FULL COLOR with a lot of procedures.
It is a good book, NOTWHITSTANDING that is a little basic, and it lacks of deep explanations, is not a deep-trauma book keep that in mind. The CD is great comes with real videos explaining lots of procedures, it even brings a Palm application.-

Summary: Necessary Evil?
Comment: This book is actually pretty good, especially if you are looking for focused DOT guidelines. The layout and presentation are excellent. However, its approach is different from how many EMS agencies run calls - that is, it's very non-specific in roles of the rescuers - my experience is that most agencies have very defined responsibilities for each person (patient person, radio person etc.) PHTLS is more of "Team Leader" approach with all rescuers able to do any skills. Obviously with different scope of practice rescuers on scene (EMT vs. EMT-P), this cannot be the case. Bottom line, most agencies want you to carry this card so it's a good book to own.
