The book "Emergency Care and Transportation of the Sick and Injured" by the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) is a First Aid book specifically designed for students in traditional schools, as well as online students.

The importance of pre-hospital care in the ultimate outcome of all patients in severe and emergency situations has been well recognized in recent years. It is accepted that the Emergency Medical Services system in the United States is of the highest quality. The scientifically documented correctness of each action is a prerequisite for every professional in the field, who is governed by strict legislative frameworks defending the health of citizens. Carelessness, half-knowledge, and disorganization have no place and are costly. This book has received universal acceptance in the United States and is aimed at healthcare professionals and citizens who wish to be trained in First Aid and Basic Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation.
