This book represents the most up-to-date guidelines for resuscitation which have been brought forward in Europe. These guidelines were produced in accordance with ILCOR (International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation). This is the first time all these guidelines have been presented together in one publication. They also include the complimentary guidelines: management of the airway and ventilation during resuscitation, management of arrhythmias associated with cardiac arrest, the prehospital management of acute heart attacks and ethics in out-of-hospital cardiopulmonary resuscitation. These guidelines have in principle been agreed upon by Australia, Southern Africa, and part of South America. This book will provide the basis for teachers of resuscitation to the lay public, nurses and paramedical staff and physicians of all specialties.

Editorial Reviews

Review

December 1998 The book describes best practice in modern resuscitation, and the clinical content is beyond criticism. It will undoubtedly sell in great numbers, because it really should be readily available wherever resuscitation is likely to be required. It will become the Gideon Bible of clinical practice: wherever you go, you will find a copy. -- John Bache, Leighhton Hospital, UK, Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine
