Rezensionen

"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)
