History

The Resuscitation Council (UK) was formed in August 1981 by a group of medical professionals with a shared interest in resuscitation, and has an objective of educating both the lay public and health care professionals in the most effective resuscitation methods.[3]

Aims

The Resuscitation Council aims to:[3]

  • To encourage research into methods of resuscitation
  • To study resuscitation teaching techniques
  • To establish appropriate guidelines for resuscitation procedures
  • To promote the teaching of resuscitation as established in the guidelines
  • To establish and maintain standards for resuscitation
  • To foster good working relations between all organisations involved in resuscitation and to produce and publish training aids and other literature concerned with the organisation of resuscitation and its teaching
gollark: Oh, you should use `os.pullEvent` and not `coroutine.yield` too, right.
gollark: Your thing will be running in a CraftOS environment instead of the BIOS one, so presumably you can use the `keys` library and make it easier.
gollark: This is adapted slightly from the keyboard shortcuts daemon in potatOS.
gollark: ```lualocal keys_down = {}local keyboard_commands = { -- whatever}local function keyboard_shortcuts() while true do local ev = {coroutine.yield()} if ev[1] == "key" then keys_down[ev[2]] = true if keyboard_commands[ev[2]] and keys_down[157] then -- right ctrl keyboard_commands[ev[2]]() end elseif ev[1] == "key_up" then keys_down[ev[2]] = false end endend```
gollark: Oh, right. I'll pull up the PotatoBIOS code for that.
