Abstract
Outcomes from in-hospital and out-of-hospital cardiac arrest have been slowly improving over the past decade. This has been the result of incremental improvements in each phase of care: the early delivery of cardiopulmonary resuscitation, more sophisticated advanced life support (including defibrillation), and attention to detail in the post-resuscitation care. The International Liaison Committee On Resuscitation (ILCOR) oversaw the creation of the 2015 consensus on science, which, in turn, was used by the international councils to develop their revised guidelines. The residual questions about the specific role of the advanced airway, epinephrine, oxygen, carbon dioxide and targeted temperature management are likely to be settled with the publication of the trials that are currently in progress.
