"Most up to date at this time" according to Les Gean Burns. This is the most up to date book for ITLS at this time. The new one will be out in a few months but until then, this is the one that will help you master the concepts of International Trauma Life Support. I highly recommend it.. "BTLS" according to Jane S. Bishop. Book arrived in new althought said to be used with CD still unopened. I am very satisfied with the book and the price.. Thorough basic coverage I have always enjoyed BTLS. I am excited that the BTLS education committee decided to split their focus into Basic and Advanced. An EMT-B can use the Advanced book for further knowledge about what their EMT-P's are doing (but obviously not for their own practice!). Both editions are well
This practical, hands-on training textbook offers Paramedics and advanced providers a complete course covering all skills necessary for rapid assessment, resuscitation, stabilization, and transportation of the trauma patient.
