The subject is dealt with in three parts: Part I, The Physiology of Respiration, is lucid and occupies 25 pages. Part II, Techniques of Artificial Respiration, occupies two-thirds of the book. In these chapters, all forms of artificial respiration are described and the shortcomings of each method are emphasized. The superiority of mouth-to-mouth methods is convincingly shown. This section also includes a chapter on closed-chest cardiac resuscitation. Part III, Clinical Artificial Respiration, includes a variety of conditions; barbiturate poisoning, carbon monoxide poisoning, drowning, paralytic poliomyelitis and anticholinesterase poisoning.
