Implementation of National Resuscitation Guidelines 2006.

The implementation of guidelines released by the National Resuscitation Council in 2006 involved all the main areas of resuscitation, especially basic life support and defibrillation. The emphasis was on community training, creation of simplified programmes, combining cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and defibrillation, and using simpler training devices. As a result, public access defibrill...

ERC 2010 guidelines for adult and pediatric resuscitation: summary of major changes.

European Resuscitation Council guidelines for resuscitation 2005. Section 3. Electrical therapies: automated external defibrillators, defibrillation, cardioversion and pacing.

The importance of early, uninterrupted chest compressions is emphasised throughout these guidelines. Much greater emphasis on minimising the duration of the preshock and post-shock pauses. The continuation of compressions during charging of the defibrillator is recommended. Immediate resumption of chest compressions following defibrillation is also emphasised; in combination with continuation o...
