THE NEW GUIDELINE FOR CPR 2010:WHAT HAS CHANGED?
Pertemuan Ilmiah Berkala Persatuan Dokter Anestesiologi dan Reanimasi Hotel Novotel, Manado Oktober 2011.
Abstract
The publication of the 2010 American Heart Association (AHA) Guidelines for Cardiopulmonary Rescucitation (CPR) and Emergency Cardiovasculare Care (ECC) marks the 50th anniversary of modern CPR. Challenges remain if we are to fulfill the potential offered by the pioneer rescucitation scientists. We know that there is a striking disparity in survival outcomes from cardiac arrest across systems of care, with some systems reporting 5-fold higher survival rates than others. Although technology, such as that incorporated in automated external defibrillators (AED), has contributed to increased survival from cardiac arrest, no initial intervention can be delivered to the victim of cardiac arrest unless bystanders are ready, willing, and able to act.
