Antonio E. Muniz The Future of Cardiopulmonary
An in-depth review by leading authorities of the latest therapies and techniques
for rescuing persons in cardiac arrest. The authors explore the physiology behind
current state-of-the-art clinical resuscitation and translate it into practical
bedside recommendations, clinical tips, and expert techniques. Topics of interest
include the epidemiology of sudden death, management of ventilation, chest compression
technique training, public access defibrillation, drug delivery during CPR,
the latest drug therapies, and cardiac arrest in disease, pregnancy, drowning,
lightning strike, and trauma. The authors also review the major ongoing research
in resuscitation science that will likely affect the next set of international
resuscitation guidelines.
