Jim Wilson –
Don’s explanations are simple and yet critical knowledge for any medical provider. This is truly a case of not knowing just how powerful a tool in your toolbox truly is. In my humble this should be mandatory knowledge for every pre-hospital provider out there. As a Fire Chief I am always looking for innovative methods of improving patient outcomes. With over 40 years in EMS it’s hard to impress me frankly. But the content of this book did just that.

This course explains the importance of capnography as an assessment tool. Don Guillette’s class makes capnography easy to understand and relevant to anyone in critical care medicine.I have used this tool in EMS to identify critical patients, reduce hospital admissions, and save lives.
