I had and earlier edition of this book and read it cover to cover when aspiring to be a flight RN. Overall, I love this book and the content covered. However, years later, and having been a flight RN for a while now, I'm reviewing this book for the CFRN exam and finding it fails to meet my needs on a few levels.There is a lack of graphics to support and enhance learning. For example,explaining the cerebral circulation warrants a simple graphic of the circulation, no? I, for one, learn better when visuals accompany complex or confusing topics.Additionally, there are wasted chapters on things like Military Transport, yet the SCI chapter, for example, does not even briefly review the spinal cord syndromes. Another example is that the small section on "near drowning" uses outdated nomenclature. The term "near drowning" was thrown out back in 2002 at the international conference on drowning and adopted by the WHO and CDC. When one updates an edition, they need to do their homework.The authors should not rest on your laurels, knowing that there is no alternative text. They should break down every chapter, every graphic, every section and make it better. Just my personal review.
I just passed my CFRN and this book was my main reference for it. Great information if you are new to flight nursing and need a go-to textbook.
I purchased this book as a guide to critical care nursing and to help with the CFRN exam. This book is very well written and has lots of detailed information. The only reason I knocked off a star was that the book reads like stereo instructions and has small print which only allows for 2-3 hours of reading before you have to put it down and take a break.
If your job is in critical care transport, whether its flying or ground, nursing or paramedic this book is your guide to understanding your roles and others during transport. This book will guide you through the physiological and principle aspects of all you need to know. This book is a must for any review for your CEN, CFRN, or FPC. If you work in the ED, or in Paramedicine this book will help you understand more about your patient and the interaction needed to help you prepare your patients for any type of transport.
This book is really helpful. I am using it to get my FP-C and it is loaded with all the information that I need for the test. Although not written specifically for paramedics, it is a must for anyone getting ready for the FP-C.
A well laid out book that gives examples of various parts of the critical care environment. This is not light reading by any means but the material is easy to understand if you understand the critical care environment. A must have for those taking the FP-C exam.
This book has a lot of good information. but when you read it, you notice it repeats the same information twice in back to back paragraphs. and there seems to be a lot of redundant information. for example, early in the book the author post a graph about crash statistics, then spends 2 pages breaking down the information by various years, and through the eyes of various studies and reports. it just seems that the graph would be enough.warning to those who are already street medics. there is a lot of information that you would already know like scene procedures, hazards. how ground crews work and integrate with other responders. so basically in the first 150 pages, there is only maybe 5 pages of worthwhile new information regarding the specifics of flight physiology (but thats also covered later on in more depth)
Using this text and others to further my knowledge as well as teach young medics for flight care. Easy to read and material structure flows well. It also assists in studying for CFRN. I would recommend this to anyone interested in transport care.
