Greif R, Bray JE, Djarv T, et al. 2024 International Consensus on Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Emergency Cardiovascular Care Science With Treatment Recommendations: Summary From the Basic Life Support; Advanced Life Support; Pediatric Life Support; Neonatal Life Support; Education, Implementation, and Teams; and First Aid Task Forces. Circulation. 2024 Dec 10;150(24):e580-e687. doi: 10.1161/CIR.0000000000001288. Epub 2024 Nov 14. (Evidence-based guideline)
Abstract

This is the eighth annual summary of the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation International Consensus on Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Emergency Cardiovascular Care Science With Treatment Recommendations; a more comprehensive review was done in 2020. This latest summary addresses the most recent published resuscitation evidence reviewed by the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation task force science experts. Members from 6 International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation task forces have assessed, discussed, and debated the quality of the evidence, using Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation criteria, and their statements include consensus treatment recommendations. Insights into the deliberations of the task forces are provided in the Justification and Evidence-to-Decision Framework Highlights sections. In addition, the task forces list priority knowledge gaps for further research.

Emergency Medicine rater

Obviously required reading. Probably not a good choice for application of the MORE system!

Hospital Doctor/Hospitalists rater

Most hospitalists will encounter this information distilled through ACLS recertification courses at the AHA and their institution. Nevertheless, a working understanding of the science beyond that level can be useful for quality improvement and for hospitalists practicing in critical care settings.

Pediatric Emergency Medicine rater

This provides recent updates on resuscitation and the most recent published evidence. These recommendations will help provide up-to-date care to children who need resuscitation.

Pediatric Emergency Medicine rater

This article is important as it outlines the significant updates to resuscitation guidance in multiple practice settings.

Pediatric Neonatology rater

Important updates on guidelines but the certainty of the evidence is moderate to very low, which impacts the recommendations.

Pediatric Neonatology rater

Too exhaustive. CPR guidelines in adults may not be of interest to Pediatricans/Neonatologists. The exhaustive summary and recommendations can be divided into two - 1) For adults and 2) Pediatrics and Neonatology.

Pediatric Neonatology rater

A must-read for clinicians: update on recommendations for resuscitation in different age groups. Provides evidence (or points to a lack of evidence) for these recommendations.
