Resuscitation at the roadside.
This article summarizes what to do in the event of an emergency outside the dental surgery. It gives a simple and easy to follow guide to preserving life at the roadside when only minimal equipment is available. The fundamental principles of resuscitation will enable the practitioner to save a life in a situation when it is easy to forget the basic techniques in sheer panic. The training of the dental practitioner is an advantage in these uncommon but difficult situations when literally seconds count.
