    L’assistant de régulation médicale (ARM) est le premier maillon de la chaîne des secours préhospitaliers, c’est le premier interlocuteur pour toute personne ayant composé le 15 sur son téléphone, en cas d’urgence médicale. Il accueille, écoute et analyse chaque appel dans les plus brefs délais. Il doit identifier chaque appelant, localiser le plus précisément possible l’adresse de chaque intervention et procéder à la hiérarchisation des appels par un interrogatoire bref et précis. La demande étant exprimée, l’ARM oriente l’appel vers un médecin régulateur et met en œuvre ses décisions (engagement de SMUR, VSAV, ambulance…). Cet ouvrage se concentre principalement sur le module 1 de la nouvelle formation des ARM : le rôle et le cadre d’exercice de l’ARM, la situation d’urgence et la communication. Il est divisé en 6 grandes parties : • les bases de la communication ; • la qualification initiale de l’appel ; • l’adaptation au tableau clinique ; • les pathologies circonstancielles ; • les principales pathologies stomatologiques, ORL et ophtalmologiques rencontrées en régulation au SAMU-Centre 15 ; • les urgences médicopsychologiques et psychiatriques. Il compte également plusieurs annexes présentant l’alphabet radio international, les abréviations et les termes courants en situation sanitaire, la compréhension des termes médicaux, les notions de base sur le matériel de médecine d’urgence... Véritable guide pour tout futur ARM, il est aussi un aide-mémoire destiné à reposer sur chaque poste. Il est composé d’une cinquantaine de fiches qui proposent de façon didactique de nombreux encadrés et schémas décisionnels avec un code couleur permettant de guider la pratique au quotidien. Le propos est également étayé de figures anatomiques et photos en situation.
