2020 Korean Guidelines for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation. Part 9. Education and system implementation for enhanced chain of survival

摘要

This chapter periodically updates the evidence-based education and system implementation (EIT) guidelines with regard to reflecting evolving best training strategies on how best to implement successful resuscitation programs in Korea. A major change in the EIT section of the 2020 Korean guidelines for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) reflects an extension of the revised scope from the previous exclusive focus on education to the inclusion of the current system implementation. As the educational approaches are the core links among their implementation into practice, we provide the components of education in resuscitation at a more advanced level, based upon the survival environment. This extension highlights the importance of social competence for CPR education and a sudden cardiac death management system as a key element in constructing and realizing the survival environment, as newly described in the 2020 Korean CPR guidelines. The EIT Task Force conducted 16 systemic reviews applying the GRADE (Grading of Recommendation, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation) guidance [1,2]. The EIT of the present guidelines describes the consensus on scientific evidence and treatment recommendations of the 16 major issues that have been reviewed by the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation in 2020 and revised to be compatible with the current status in South Korea.
