Book Reviews of ACEP First Aid Manual, 2nd edition (American College of Emergency Physicians)
Book Review: Excellent Treatise on First Aid Procedures
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an excellent, detailed guide to first aid procedures. It is clearly written and contains plenty of photographs. It covers CPR, Mouth to Mouth, Shock, Burns, Bleeding, and a number of other medical conditions (heart attack, asthma, etc.). All in all, it is a comprehensive treatise on first aid procedures.
However, do not buy this book and expect to refer to it in a **dire** emergency. The book is much too long and the principles of **emergency** first aid are not something that you can learn during an emergency. If you buy this book, read it before you put in with your emergency kit. Better yet, take a first aid and CPR class, and then read this book every year as a refresher.
If you encounter a medical situation that is not dire, you may have time to refer to the book. It is well-organized and each section is easy to find. However, you might be better off calling 911 first....
