Synopsis

ABC of Resuscitation

About this title

Review:

"Overall, the photos, tables, and diagrams are all clear and well done. The book is easy to read and the images and text correspond and enhance each other well. It is concise and manageable if one has limited time to devote to ACLS review." (Doody's, 26 September 2013)

From the Back Cover:

ABC of Resuscitation is a practical, illustrated guide to the latest resuscitation advice for the non-specialist and provides the core knowledge on the treatment of cardiopulmonary arrest.

This sixth edition is fully up-to-date with a new editorial team, authors and chapters.

It begins with the causes and prevention of cardiac arrest and details basic and advanced life support for adults, children and newborns. It addresses resuscitation in a range of contexts, both in-hospital and out-of-hospital, including drowning, pregnancy, sport and trauma. It also covers important aspects of implementation of guidelines including human factors and education.
