This field guide has a lot of information in it. As an EMT-B trying to get my EMT-I and EMT-Paramedic later on, this field guide is a good reference or just as study material if you have a free hour or so.
The pages are very thin, but they are not paper, but a synthetic paper/plastic material that should not rip very easily. It actually stretches if you try and tear it. The other thing is that this kit IS "water-proof/resistant" and alcohol fast, meaning the ink will not run if you spill alcohol on it, great for all of you frat party EMTs (or those of you who use Isopropyl alcohol on the job).
The information lines up with current EMS guidelines, I believe it was revised in 2011, which is recently enough. As for the toxicology section, I would like to see a bit more chemicals to reference. The other complaint about this book is that the CPR section will on occasion advise you to perform CPR on patients who should have a pulse. I'm not sure why, but remember this guide is NOT your standard of training, the curriculum and textbook are. This guide is only a reference to inform and guide you in remembering your training.
The main purpose of this guide is to get a little heads-up for the less common EMS occurrences, like poisonings and stuff like that. So its more of a consultation than a first-aid guide in itself. That said, it does do a very thorough job of covering all of EMS spectrum including non-medical scenarios like ambulance operations and hazmat.
Like I said, though, this is NOT a first-aid guide, it's an EMT reference. It would be very very difficult to 'decode' for the non-EMS trained personnel, so don't think you can toss this into your first aid kit in the car and be all set.
