Abstract

New guidelines 2021 for cardiopulmonary resuscitation in adults. In March 2021, the new European Resuscitation Council (ERC) guidelines for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) were presented in Antwerp (Belgium). Every 5 years, these guidelines are renewed. They are based on the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR) 2020 Consensus on Science and Treatment Recommendations (CoSTR). In this manuscript, the most important aspects of these guidelines are summarized. Furthermore, the changes with regard to the guidelines of 2015 are emphasized. Basic life support (BLS), advanced life support (ALS) and post-resuscitation care are discussed. The 2021 guidelines can be downloaded from the internet (http://www.erc.edu).
