An essential introduction to pathophysiology for paramedics

Paramedics are specialists in out-of-hospital emergency healthcare; they are also capable of operating as generalist clinicians whose work is indispensable in a variety of healthcare settings. The response to the COVID-19 pandemic, especially, has revealed the versatility of the paramedic workforce. Contemporary paramedic practice continues to break new ground as the workforce is called upon to undertake critical roles in support of the wider healthcare sector. However, to perform their crucial work, paramedics require a strong understanding of pathophysiology to enable them to make rapid and effective clinical decisions.

Fundamentals of Applied Pathophysiology for Paramedics is a comprehensive introduction to this subject for aspiring, early-career, and experienced paramedics. This textbook links theory to practice and supports high-quality care in dynamic, fast-paced environments. Drawing on the latest available evidence and clinical best practice, it promises to support current paramedics and prepare student paramedics for their future as healthcare professionals.

  • User-friendly organisation of topics broken down by body systems
  • Detailed discussion of patient-focused issues, common and specialised diseases, and more
  • Physiological and psychological alerts to aid in diagnosis and response

Fundamentals of Applied Pathophysiology for Paramedics is ideal for all paramedic students and early career paramedics.
