Written by a leading resuscitation expert, Adult and Paediatric ALS: Self-assessment in Resuscitation is essential reading for anyone undertaking resuscitation training, beginning training in acute resuscitation specialities or wishing to update their knowledge of advanced life support.

Reviews
'This book would be a useful quick revision guide for the resuscitation sections of the Primary and Final FRCA examination. In addition, life support instructors or candidates could revise the syllabus in an alternative fashion to life support manuals. It would be particularly helpful for life support candidates who require more practice at multiple-choice questions prior to their written assessment on the course.'
