Thomas Cecil Gray CBE KCSG FRCP FRCS FRCA and Gordon Jackson Rees FRCA FRCP FRCPCH: Major contributors to post-resuscitation care

摘要

The inclusion of these two great men in the roll of Resuscitation Greats comes about because of their contribution to post-resuscitation care. Before their work, ventilation was either spontaneous or 'assisted'. After the work with relaxants, ventilation could be completely controlled, and the patient allowed to recover in the best possible circumstances.Professor Emeritus Thomas Cecil Gray was born on 11 March 1913, in a room above a public house in Scotland Road, Liverpool, where his father was the publican. He attended a preparatory school and then the famous Roman Catholic public school, Ampleforth College.
