Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
A new first aid book
I wanted a new first aid book around, so I searched through the vast selection and picked this one it is to the point and deals with the kind of first aid I am interested in.
Essential safety equipment
A must have for every home and school. While nothing can replace real first aid training, this excellent book serves as a useful suppliment and refresher. Buy it, keep it handy, and read sections of it regularly.
Out of date
While the first aid portion of the book is very good, all of the CPR information is out of date and does not reflect the standards adopted in 2005. This includes the standards for adult, child, and infant CPR; child and infant rescue breathing, and unconscious choking for adult and child.
Needs Update
The book has much of what you expect in a first aid book. The one problem is that the book hasn't been updated in a long time. One of the treatments recommended was outdated and wrong.
Every household should have a copy.
Every household needs a copy of this book and at least one person familiar with its contents.
