It's a bit smaller than the regular ALS book, but it kind of assumes a knowledge of that one.

The CPR technique is similar to the old CPR protocol, so its neat to have that relevant again.

I particularly enjoyed the bit on sepsis, though I think there was so much information I'm gonna have to read it again to get it all straight.

I think the pamphlet will prove particularly useful as a on-the-spot reference, too.

I had to read it for work. I always learn something.
