Synopsis

When the call is moving fast, you don’t need another dense pharmacology textbook—you need the medication information that matters, organized so you can find it quickly.

EMS Drug Pocket Guide: A Field Reference for Prehospital Medications is built for EMTs, paramedics, and other prehospital clinicians who need a practical medication reference for the realities of field care.
Instead of organizing drugs like a classroom textbook, this guide groups them around the clinical situations EMS professionals actually encounter—from respiratory distress and cardiac arrest to trauma, seizures, toxicology, shock, anaphylaxis, and pediatric emergencies.
Inside, you can:
  • Quickly review drug indications, doses, routes, contraindications, cautions, and common medication errors
  • Reference adult, pediatric, and neonatal dosing for frequently encountered prehospital medications
  • Work through weight-based dosing, concentration calculations, IV drip rates, pump rates, and mcg/kg/min infusions
  • Navigate ACLS-related drugs, vasopressors, antiarrhythmics, analgesics, RSI medications, antidotes, and emergency medications
  • Identify high-alert medications and dangerous look-alike/sound-alike drug combinations
  • Use consolidated quick-reference tables for dosing, toxidromes, shock, pediatric emergencies, anaphylaxis, and resuscitation
  • Review medication considerations for pregnancy, geriatrics, renal impairment, anticoagulation, and other special populations
  • Scan the QR code at the back of the book to access additional audio references
The guide reflects general U.S. paramedic-scope practice current to 2026 and references the 2025 AHA resuscitation guideline update, while repeatedly emphasizing that local protocols and medical direction always govern.

Add this field-ready reference to your EMS kit and keep essential medication information within reach when seconds matter.
