    Study Notes

    CPR Guidelines Updates

    • CPR initiation is defined as "unresponsive with absent or abnormal breathing" by ILCOR CoSTR 5 and BLS 2021 guidelines.
    • Agonal breathing (slow, labored breathing) is considered a sign of cardiac arrest.
    • The recovery position in ERC guidelines 2021 is for adults and children with decreased responsiveness due to medical illness or non-physical trauma, not for those needing rescue breaths or chest compressions. Continuous monitoring is critical.
    • If breathing becomes absent or abnormal in the recovery position, immediately roll the person onto their back and begin chest compressions.
    • Foreign body airway obstruction treatment algorithms remain the same, but the evidence underpinning them has been updated.
    • Recommendations exist for cardiac arrest in COVID-19 patients, based on ILCOR CoSTR and systematic reviews.
    • Understanding optimal COVID-19 treatment, transmission risk, and CPR precautions is evolving. Data in this area is limited.

    Guideline Recommendations

    • Consult ERC and national guidelines for the most current treatment and rescuer safety precautions.
    • Adhere to local policies for both treatment and precautions.
