Fire and EMS Emergency medical service represents more than 80 percent of the response activity in emergency response agencies. The whole concept of EMS has undergone drastic changes and improvements over the past three decades. With the ongoing threat of deadly diseases, the methods once practiced to treat trauma victims are not necessarily the best, or safest, procedures. In this day and age, change is the only constant. This book is designed to improve the quality of your EMS delivery.
