TY - JOUR AU1 - Sainsbury, D. AB - Book Review Introduction RESUSSIM 98 ^ ADVANCED LIFE SUPPORT (ALS) SIMULATOR FOR PERSONAL COMPUTERS The management of respiratory/cardiac arrest has been Drew He¡ernan, Ulrik Juul Christensen and clearly de¢ned since the publication of the American SÖren Frank Andersen Heart Foundation's Guidelines for Basic and Advanced Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation in 1974 [1]. Basic life support involves the manual skills of airway Source support, expired air ventilation and external cardiac massage.

These resemble the emergency cockpit drills used Denmark by pilots. The aeronautics industry has long recognised E-mail: mail@sophusmedical.dk the value of simulators in teaching these drills. Simulators WWW: http://www.resussim.com are now used for teaching emergency management in A trial version of the program is available from anaesthesia [2]. ResusSim uses simulator techniques to http://gasnet.med.yale.edu/education/reference/ teach advanced cardio-pulmonary resuscitation with- software/index.html out the expense of a fully functional simulator with mannequins and associated equipment.
