New standards for cardiopulmonary resuscitation

New standards for cardiopulmonary resuscitation -- Deakin 330 (7493): 685 -- BMJ
Represent a milestone in resuscitation practice and training
Charles D Deakin, consultant anaesthetist


A joint statement, Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation—Standards for Clinical Practice and Training, has been issued by the Royal College of Anaesthetists, Royal College of Physicians of London, the Intensive Care Society, and the Resuscitation Council (UK).1 This was endorsed by a further nine healthcare organisations including the National Patient Safety Agency and defines minimum standards for the delivery of resuscitation related services in healthcare institutions. Perhaps the only major omissions from this list are the Royal College of General Practitioners and the Royal College of Obstetricians.
