Highlights
Introduction and scopeThe Systems Saving Lives chapter describes numerous and important factors that can globally improve the management of cardiac arrest patients not as a single intervention but as a system-level approach
The concept behind the Systems Saving Lives approach to cardiac arrest is to emphasise the connections between the different individuals involved in the chain of survival
On the basis of expert consensus, it is recommended that national resuscitation councils, national governments and local authorities, engage with World Restart a Heart (WRAH) to raise awareness of the importance of bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and automated external defibrillator (AED), to train as many citizens as possible, and to develop new and innovative systems and policies that will save more lives
