Product Description
Review
Deals with areas which can sometimes be presented in a complex way, for example, blood gases. These are explained in a very clear, straight forward manner, with both clinical examples and diagrams to aid the reader...Most chapters are supported with excellent, clear diagrams and flow charts. Definitely a worthwhile accompaniment to the guidelines and the sort of book that should be found in any school of nursing, medical or hospital library. It may also be a useful purchase for departments such as A & E where resuscitation is part of every day working life. -- Intensive and Critical Care Nursing
Product Description
This system of care of the cardiac emergency which is taught in this volume enables the non-specialist doctor, nurse or paramedic to deal with these emergencies in a logical and systematic way, and facilitates subsequent management by other medical specialists. The reader is presented with a practical approach to care, relevant to all healthcare professionals working in the acute sector. Revisions to the tried and tested first edition are the outcome of consultation with senior healthcare workers from five acute specialties and a professional educator. They take into account new European Resuscitation Council protocols as well as feedback from doctors, nurses and paramedics who have completed the Advanced Cardiac Life Support course. Further additions to the text include discussion of pacing, risks to rescuers and anaphylaxis.

I found this book very explanitory and easy to read without loosing the necessary 'detail' or 'depth'.Each chapter appears well structured and it's clear bullet point layout facilitates understanding.Excellent chapter on blood gas analysis - the best I have seen for anyone struggling to get to grips with it.
