There are many immediate support books targeted at healthcare Professionals, but the author could find none specifically written for Dentists to the depth that this book covers. It is designed with the busy dentist’s mind as result a step-by-step approach has been adopted in structuring the contents. A dentist providing immediate life support must ensure that the airway is patent and the book covers how this should be done and also how to use devices that aid breathing. A breakdown of the circulatory system can lead very quickly to the heart stopping and this book clearly demonstrates a step by step approach to treating a patient who has suffered from a cardiac arrest. The practical sessions during training can be difficult therefore having a learning resource that is pictorial and which learners can follow before and after training is essential and precisely why this book has been written and is a valuable resource and a a must read for the busy dentist. The book complies with the UK Resuscitation Council Guidelines 2021.
