Overview

About 500,000 people suffer a sudden cardiac arrest in Europe every year but their treatment has not been satisfactory for years. The main issues in the Guidelines for cardiopulmonary resuscitation launched by the European Resuscitation Council in October 2010 are summarized in the article. The changes in the new recommendations are based on recent scientific evidence in resuscitation medicine and an effort to make them simpler compared to the last 2005 Guidelines. Chest compression remains the most important action in both basic and advanced life support. The victim’s chest must be pushed hard into the depth of at least 5 centimetres with a frequency of at least 100 per minute. Higher employment of automated external defibrillators and better availability of devices to deliver early defibrillation are encouraged. Some steps in the advanced life support algorithm have also changed. Neither tracheal administration of drugs nor atropine in asystole have been recommended, a treatment of the post-cardiac arrest syndrome has been emphasized, and the adverse effects of hyperoxia have been proven. Chest compressions, early defibrillation, and early therapeutic hypothermia are the key procedures of cardiopulmonary resuscitation affecting favourable outcome.
