New aspects of cardiopulmonary resuscitation: European Resuscitation Council’s recommendations for resuscitation procedures (2010)
Abstract
The stoppage of blood flow continues to be a problem of great concern in modern medicine. The European Resuscitation Council (ERC) unites national resuscitation councils in the European countries. Under the ERC’s guidance, the recommendations for resuscitation procedures are revised reasoning from the up-to-date evidence-based medicine once every five years. The last revision occurred in 2010. The Russian Resuscitation Council, being an exclusive representative of the ERC in Russia, has translated and published the official Russian variant of the recommendations. This paper describes the up-to-date ERC’s recommendations relating to basic and advanced resuscitation efforts, counter shock therapy and devices applied to carry out mechanical cardiopulmonary resuscitation procedures.
