Book Preface

The goal of the American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) is to support high-quality emergency care throughout our country. More than 130 million persons come to hospital emergency departments every year, seeking care for everything from mild illnesses and injuries to lifethreatening conditions. Emergency care is provided in a continuum that starts with the bystander who first recognizes a problem and begins treatment, through the care rendered by emergency medical services (EMS) personnel, to the care provided in hospital emergency departments nationwide.

Either directly or indirectly, every citizen is affected by injury or illness at some point. It is important for all of us to be able to recognize emergency medical events and to possess the basic knowledge and skills necessary to summon appropriate help and to provide basic care until that help arrives. The goal of this manual is to instruct you in these basic skills and to provide you with the knowledge you need to make a positive difference in the life of any ill or injured person to whom you give aid.

This manual discusses what to do for the common, mild, serious, and lifethreatening situations you may face, in a step-by-step-manner, using illustrations and photographs to help you understand the problem at hand. Although it is designed to provide you with a good knowledge base, it is strongly encouraged that you also take a formal first aid course from an organization in your community that provides such training. These organizations include the American Red Cross, the American Heart Association, EMS agencies, and local hospitals. It is also recommended that you refresh your skills on a regular basis.
