Update Notfallmedizin
摘要
The new European Resuscitation Council (ERC) guidelines build on established practices, but they do offer some practical and easily implementable recommendations. The four pillars of advanced life support (ALS)—high-quality chest compressions, early defibrillation, adequate ventilation, and medication—remain, but have been refined in some details. The use of ultrasound, among other things, receives increased emphasis. Overall, the newly published guidelines offer a practical and clearly structured summary of the recommended procedures for both threatened and actual cardiac arrest.
