Abstract

The European Resuscitation Council (ERC) developed the Systems Saving Lives Guidelines, based on the 2025 ILCOR Consensus on Science with Treatment Recommendations (CoSTR). These Guidelines addresses various topics including the Chain of Survival, advocacy, CPR awareness campaigns, Kids Save Lives, resuscitation in low-resource settings, social media, first responders, EMS organisation for cardiac arrest, in-hospital cardiac arrest management, cardiac arrest centres, system performance improvement, survivors and co-survivors, and new technologies and artificial intelligence.
