Paediatric Advanced Life Support - A Practical Guide for Nurses 2e Reviews

In summary, this is a comprehensive and short text. It would be suitable for nurses and medical trainees in emergency medicine, paediatric specialties and anaesthesia. ( The Irish Medical Journal, 1 March 2013) As such it makes an excellent source of reference for those involved in paediatric advanced life support ... I would recommend this book to any health professional likely to encounter an emergency situation. (Nursing Times, 6 December 2012) It is a fundamental resource, noticeably reworked from its first edition, and is suitable for practitioners who come into contact with children in their sphere of practice. ( Emergency Nurse, 1 October 2012) Practitioners are given an easily digestible and portable text focusing on emergency situations involving children and care provision ... Sub-headings provide clear markers and references after each chapter encourage the reader to engage with literature more effectively and read around areas of interest. (Nursing Children and Young People, 1 October 2012) As a PALS regional faculty instructor for the American Heart Association, I feel this U.K. book accurately reflects the revised PALS guidelines and meets its intent to serve as a pocket-sized guide for pediatric life support. (Doody's, 10 August 2012)
