Cardiopulmonary resuscitation at the Singapore General Hospital
Annals of the Academy of Medicine, Singapore
|July 1, 1984
Abstract:
Effective use of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) saves lives both in and out of hospitals. Yet, in Singapore, this practical skill is rarely taught even within the medical community. Observations from a CPR pilot training programme at the Singapore General Hospital expose this glaring deficiency in our health system. Urgent remedial measures are needed.
