  • "Thank you for the Critical Care Transport Field Guide.  It is truly a valuable resource. I have had other paramedics use it and we all agree - this is perfect not just for the CCEMT-P, but for paramedics working in a hospital-based system as well. The material in the field guide is pertinent for dealing with many toxicological emergencies, ACS, and other patients we see on a daily basis."
