This is a very readable and comprehensive historical account of the
development of resuscitation techniques by great medical figures
over the last two thousand years. Edited by well-known medical
brothers Peter and Tom Baskett, the book is based on articles
contributed to the journal 'Resuscitation' by 56 authors from 16
countries worldwide. The book not only records the contribution of
the 'resuscitation greats' to the medical field but also describes
their individual characters, intriguing relationships, multiple
talents, illegal behaviour and in one case fatal encounter with the
guillotine! RESUSCITATION GREATS paints the historical background
to modern resuscitation techniques. It should be read with
enjoyment and enlightenment by anybody who may be involved in
resuscitation... and that virtually includes everybody!
This book traces the evolution of caesarean delivery from
postmortem ritual to the most commonly performed operation on women
worldwide: from religious and legal edicts to the controversy of
caesarean birth by maternal choice.
This volume covers the early development of mobile coronary care
within the context of major societal and scientific changes,
leading to pre-hospital emergency intensive care, cardiopulmonary
resuscitation (CPR) and defibrillation. The success of the Belfast
Cardiac Ambulance stimulated the development of broader
pre-hospital emergency services and the concomitant growth of
related expertise and paramedical personnel. This book celebrates
the origins and early development of out-of-hospital resuscitative
care. There is much to celebrate: Resuscitation, particularly from
ventricular fibrillation, is commonplace. The science of
resuscitation is well defined. Effective training programmes for
basic and advanced skills are in place. Public training in CPR and
use of automated external defibrillators (AEDs) are widespread.
This, the 30th anniversary 5th edition, has been completely revised
and updated but continues to provide the clear, concise and
practical guidance necessary to manage the obstetric emergencies
that confront those on the frontline of the labour ward. The
advice, drawn from the author's extensive experience, is
authoritative and unequivocal. The book is illustrated and fully
indexed with selected references for further reading. Written for
trainee and practising obstetricians, midwives and obstetric
nurses.
