AMLS: Avancerat medicinskt livstöd (Swedish Edition)

AMLS: Advanced Medical Life Support is the leading course in advanced medical assessment and treatment for common medical conditions in prehospital care. The course has been given worldwide since 1999. AMLS was the course that first addressed how to fully treat serious medical conditions. The course was created by the American prehospital ambulance organization National Association of Emergency Medical Technicians (NAEMT) with the support of the American emergency medical organization National Association of EMS Physicians (NAEMSP). AMLS emphasizes the importance of AMLS assessment structure. This important evaluation tool empowers prehospital caregivers to quickly diagnose medical patients and initiate effective treatment prehospitally.

For AMLS to function optimally, it is necessary to use critical thinking to assess patients and formulate management plans.

Changing course material

The third edition of the AMLS textbook is a complete text containing all the details and evidence behind the recommendations that form the basis of principles and treatment instructions for the AMLS course. As the next step in the development of the course, a new book has now been added, namely the one you are currently holding in your hand, the AMLS course manual, which reinforces and clarifies the key components presented during the course with an appealing, interactive and captivating text.

The course manual contains the following main parts:

Progressive case studies – Where the student follows a patient all the way from alarm to assessment and management and on to transport and how a similar patient would be treated by the student prehospitally.

AMLS Assessment Structure – A tool to systematically assess a medical patient, enabling the prehospital caregiver to quickly make the correct medical diagnosis.
