[Out-of-hospital resuscitation: where are we today?]
Abstract:
In circulatory arrest, the first minutes and hours are crucial - rapid and adequate care can significantly increase the chances of survival. A large number of disciplines are involved in the recommendations and guidelines for out-of-hospital resuscitation. In particular, the European Resuscitation Council (ERC) as well as the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) and the American Heart Association (AHA) are leading the way. Both the ambulance service and the accepting hospital are faced with major challenges in this regard. This article will illustrate the most important steps during and after resuscitation and discuss innovations.
