5.0 out of 5 stars
Cardiac arrest; a layman's quide, March 3, 2001
This review is from: 2002 Handbook of Emergency Cardiovascular Care for Healthcare Providers (Paperback)
The results of treatment of cardiac arrest by professionals (para medics and physicians) is dismal. Less than 5% survive. The solution is bystander resuscitation, and the use of the automatic external defibrillator, both of which are very will described in this pocket sized manuel.
This book provides a concise review of the subject, which is universally applicable, not just to professionals, but to those with little or no medical training. It is profusely illustrated, with easy to understand instructions of the Heimlich manuver, chest compressions, etc.
It covers the entire spectrum from basic life support to advanced cardiovascular support, by physicians.
Best of all, the price ...
Buy it! You can save someone's life someday.
