Provision of efficient resuscitation is mandatory to the success
ful functioning of all hospital wards and departments. Failure to
provide such a service increases morbidity and mortality. Resuscita
tion falls largely into the domain of the anaesthetist. However, an
anaesthetist is not always instantly available and resuscitation
has to be initiated by those in other specialities who have had
little or no for mal training in resuscitation techniques. The
purpose of this book is to guide those involved in resuscitation in
the indications and methods of resuscitation. Its creation and con
tents were stimulated by noting the difficulties encountered in
both teaching centres and provincial hospitals. 'Basic' is included
in the title to emphasize that, with the exception of 'the
acid-base laboratory', the apparatus is simple and available in all
hospitals. Furthermore, 'basic' indicates the authors' intention to
limit their discussion on resuscitation to that involved in the
first hour following the start of treatment. Successful treatment
during these 60 minutes, and very often the first few minutes, is
often vital in the sav ing of life. Further management can then be
decided by the ap propriate specialist.
