Hello all,

I saw a nurse with a pocket sized book for Emergency medicine, with laminated pages with all the important charts for drips with calculations etc. I need a book like that! Does anybody have an idea on how to get something similar to that? :uhoh21:

I use a PDA for my charts and grafts, I seem to be able to hold more info in a smaller device, than those bulky books. But let me look around on the internet and I'll get back w/ you.

You can get them at Barnes and Nobles or Books a Million book stores in the medical section. The EMS crews use them alot as well for quick references. great and fits nicely in your pocket.

I recommend Emergency and Critical Care: Pocket Guide ACLS Version by Paula Derr. It is VERY good. I have a PDA too with lots of emergency software but I still love this little book.
