From reviews of the first edition: . . . It is a tribute to the editors of this book, and the con-tributors they have selected, that they have managed to produce a book of enormous quality on the science of resuscitation medicine. The Lancet The excellent book, the first of its kind in the field of cardiac arrest, provides a balance of theoretical and clinical infor-mation. It achieves a level of authority and sophistication well beyond that of the advanced cardiac life support guidelines and will be of considerable use to all those prac-ticing or teaching clinical resuscitation. The New England Journal of Medicine The book has virtually everything one would ever want to know about the causes of cardiac arrest, the applied phys-iology, and its treatment. Physicians and nurses involved in the management of critically ill or injured patients should have Cardiac Arrest in their personal libraries for ready ref-erence.
