기본 인명 구조술 및 심폐소생술을 위한 2005 지침에서의 주요 변화

Major Changes of 2005 Guideline for Basic Life Support and Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation

This article sum marizes several key changes in resuscitation skills and sequences recommended in the 2005 American Heart Association (AHA) guidelines for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) and Emergency Cardiovascular Care (ECC). Simply put: rescuers should push hard, push fast, allow full chest recoil, minimize interruptions in compressions, and defibrillate promptly when appropriate. Many of these changes w ere not supported by level 1 evidence but were made by consensus, tipped by a combination of laboratory, clinical, and educational research and outcome data. Throughout the evidence evaluation document, critical gaps in resuscitation knowledge were identified. Research in these issues has the potential to further improve CPR.
