The European Resuscitation Council (ERC) 2015 Guidelines for Resuscitation provide updated recommendations for the treatment of children and adults, emphasizing the importance of coordinated community responses, high-quality CPR, and early defibrillation. Key changes since the 2010 guidelines include the integration of dispatcher-assisted CPR, the use of public access AEDs, and the importance of early defibrillation within 3–5 minutes of collapse. The guidelines also highlight the need for high-quality CPR with a compression depth of 5 cm (at least one-third of the chest depth for children) and a rate of 100–120 compressions per minute. The use of mechanical chest compression devices is recommended in situations where manual compressions are impractical. The guidelines also emphasize the importance of targeted temperature management and post-resuscitation care, including early coronary catheterisation and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for out-of-hospital cardiac arrests. For children, the guidelines recommend a compression depth of 4 cm for infants and 5 cm for children, and emphasize the importance of early recognition of cardiac arrest and prompt CPR. The guidelines also address special circumstances, such as cardiac arrest in special environments, special patients, and post-resuscitation care. The ERC guidelines emphasize the importance of education and training in resuscitation, including the use of high-fidelity manikins and the importance of non-technical skills. The guidelines also highlight the importance of a coordinated system for resuscitation, including the use of AEDs and the importance of early recognition of cardiac arrest. The guidelines also emphasize the importance of early defibrillation and the use of public access defibrillation programs. The guidelines also address the ethical considerations of resuscitation and end-of-life decisions. The ERC guidelines are based on the 2015 International Consensus on Science and Treatment Recommendations (CoSTR) and represent a consensus among the members of the ERC General Assembly.
