Cardiopulmonary resuscitation in adults

摘要

The United Kingdom's guidelines on advanced life support for adults were updated in 1997 and endorsed by the European Resuscitation Council in 1998. During 1999 and 2000 the American Heart Association hosted three meetings of international organisations in Dallas to evaluate the evidence on resuscitation. The sets of guidelines that resulted from the international consensus document have a stronger evidence base than their predecessors but have retained their simplicity.
