Description
A highly illustrated, step-by-step techniques manual which will provide clear and simple practical instruction in basic and advanced resuscitation and life support. The 4-colour artworks, many of them "cut aways" showing exernal and internal views, are designed to be more imformative and comprehensible than photographs. Schematic diagrams (algorithms) are used to outline assessment/decision-making procedures and to bring together information from different parts of the book. The overall layout and highlighted techniques make the book highly "user friendly".
