Description
Book SynopsisABC 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.
Trade 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)
