Review: This large comprehensive volume is an up-to-date reference in advanced life support and resuscitation medicine. It gives clinicians the chance to learn resuscitation techniques from experts. In each chapter registered authorities (173 contributors, in all) review their current knowledge. Since the first edition of this book, ten years ago, there have been real advances in resuscitative medicine and this edition brings the reader the latest developments in the field. The book has seven parts: Introduction; Basic science; The pathophysiology of global ischemia and reperfusion; Therapy of sudden death; Postresuscitation disease and its care; Special resuscitation circumstances; and Special issues in resuscitation.
