Abstract
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation guidelines are revised based on scientific evidence for emergency treatment of cardiac arrest patients. Refreshing the scientific knowledge of cardiopulmonary resuscitation leads to changes in the social-medical environment for cardiac arrest treatment. It aims to ultimately increase the survival rate of cardiac arrest patients by re-learning with changed guidelines every five years. Most emergency situations that occur to outpatients visits dental clinic are relatively low in risk. However, as the number of elderly patients is increasing and sedative anesthesia is becoming more common, life-threatening environments such as fainting, allergic shock, respiratory arrest, and cardiac arrest are increasing. As a medical practitioner, dentists should be able to provide appropriate emergency treatment. In this article, we would like to discuss the major changes in the revised Korean Association of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation(KACPR) and American Heart Association (AHA) guidelines in 2020.
