interesting. An Amazon search turns up a European book "ABC of  
Resuscitation" in the 5th edition, as part of the 'ABC series' of 'basic'  medical 
books (about the equivalent of the Little, Brown Spiral Notebook series  here in 
the states from what I can gather). 
Using "Peter Safer" returns

Drs.  Safar and Elam are credited with the earliest versions of
conventional CPR  in the 1950's.  Safar's obituary, as well as many other
(perhaps  derivative?) web references, mention his publication of a book
entitled  "The ABC of Resuscitation" in 1957.  This would be the  earliest
published use of the term that I can find -- except that I can't  exactly
find it.  There may be a copy or two preserved in some library  archive
in Pennsylvania; but if it's included in any formal  bibliography
accessible via the internet, I'm not seeing  it.
