PITTSBURGH, Pennsylvania (AP) -- Dr. Peter Safar, a pioneer in emergency medicine who also was regarded as the father of cardiopulmonary resuscitation, died Sunday evening of cancer. He was 79.

Safar, who died at his home in suburban Pittsburgh, was credited with establishing the country's first physician-staffed, multidisciplinary intensive care unit. He also developed the 'ABCs of CPR,' a lifesaving technique taught to everyone from surgeons to Boy Scouts. "
