emergency care, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, respiratory disordersAbstract
The health and life of the patient often depend on the timeliness and quality of medical care for various diseases, traumatic injuries, accidents, poisonings, etc. A significant proportion of patients in need of emergency medical care die due to its untimeliness or inadequacy. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation and possession of modern principles of emergency medical care are relevant for doctors of all specialties. Every doctor is obliged to provide emergency medical care to the patient, regardless of the root cause of the terminal condition, in accordance with modern standards and international protocols.
