Description: The "American Medical Association Handbook of First Aid and Emergency Care" is designed to meet your immediate needs in emergency situations by providing you with the most up-to-date first aid techniques and preventative measures. Whether the emergency is a life-threatening injury or a minor illness, this new edition of the trusted handbook will give you the necessary tools to best care for the person in need. Vetted by the AMA's top physicians, this handbook will prepare and protect you from inevitable emergency situations. With a wealth of practical information, accessible language, and a reader-friendly design, this completely revised and updated handbook is an indispensable guide for everyone.

The handbook is divided into three parts:
-- Read Now information (This general information should be read now, before any emergency strikes. It will help familiarize you with certain methods and techniques, like CPR and the Heimlich Maneuver, safeguard your home against accidents, know when to call the doctor, and learn your family's state of health.)
-- When An Emergency Arises (This is designed to give quick and easy access at the time of an emergency and includes step-by-step treatments of specific injuries and illnesses, which are listed alphabetically so that they can be easily found.
-- Quick Reference (This is an illustrated section with suggestions on treating 20 of the most common sports injuries, including runner's knee, tennis elbow, and swimmer's shoulder.)
