Editorial Reviews

Review

"Clear, well-written and quotes adequate references. A heartily recommended book which should adorn the mantelpiece of every casualty officer."--St George's Hospital Medical School Gazette

"Clear and concise...Armed with Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation, one would have little excuse for not being able to run a calm and well-organised cardiac arrest. I am sure that it will be a valuable addition to the shelves of any training resuscitation officer, but it may not win the battle for space in the already bulging pockets of the junior doctor's white coat."--The Lancet
