Description

This is a review of current standards for cardiopulmonary resuscitation by some of the world's leading authorities. Written by a group of cardiopulmonary resuscitation experts: some of whom are actual pioneers who were involved with the development and refinement of cardiopulmonary resuscitation since its beginning, this text covers cardiopulmonary resuscitation under special conditions, including perioperative cardiopulmonary resuscitation and cardiopulmonary resuscitation in infants and children. It addresses immediate and post-cardiopulmonary resuscitation problems, foregoing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (DNAR), socio-economic and medico-legal issues, and failure of cardiopulomary resuscitation.
