Based on the experience gained from training house officers and undergraduates in the field of PEM, over the past two decades, this pocket manual shows how to save life in simple systematic steps in the absence of trained emergency physicians.

An innovative case record has been devised which aids in assessment, intervention and documentation during resuscitation.
