International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR) has released the 2024 International Consensus on Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Emergency Cardiovascular Care Science With Treatment Recommendations, based on updated Resuscitation Guidelines.
This is the eighth annual summary of the International Liaison Committee on International Consensus on Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Emergency Cardiovascular Care Science With Treatment Recommendations; a more comprehensive review was done in 2020. The summary is closely aligned with current Resuscitation Guidelines and addresses the most recent published 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.

Moreover, following the latest Resuscitation Guidelines ensures that responses to cardiac emergencies are evidence-based and effective.
