Handy
This is the book that got me through a considerable amount of first aid training and the like. I never actually went that direction medically, but first aid and CPR are still things every good citizen should know and I'm quite happy to have this book on hand. The information is all the good and basic stuff, and the book covers a broad range of topics--I feel very secure about finding what I need due to great organization. Another perk is the "extras" little charts, pictures, and photos that add so much life to the book.

First Aid Textbook

Product Description
Since the first use of basic life support (BLS) and defibrillation in the pre-hospital setting in Belfast in 1966, few would argue that there have been major improvements in the rate of survival for out-of-hospital cardiac arrests. Indeed, until the widespread introduction of BLS and defibrillators to emergency medical service (EMS) vehicles, an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest would mean certain death. The initial rhythm of a patient in cardiac arrest is predictive of their chances of survival. In this regard, the rhythms with the highest rate of survival to hospital discharge are ventricular fibrillation (VF) and ventricular tachycardia (VT). As VF is a more common presenting rhythm in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest and much of our knowledge of VF is relevant to VT, this book focuses primarily on VF cardiac arrest. ... Read more

From the author: Conclusion: Although guidelines or policies for FPDR are not available in most hospitals where respondents worked, the majority of critical care nurses support FPDR and either had taken or would be willing to take family members to the bedside during CPR. The willingness of nurses in critical care to support FPDR suggests the need for more formal policies in hospitals and the development of algorithms to facilitate this process.

From the author: The similarities and differences between pre-arrest and failure-to-rescue are examined. Case studies are used to discuss the importance of early recognition and intervention in pre-arrest. In light of the poor survival-to-discharge rate for in-hospital resuscitation, it is important for the medical-surgical nurse to anticipate the unexpected, recognize the problem, and intervene before it is too late.
