- Resuscitation highlights in 2011
Following the publication in 2010 of the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR) Consensus on Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) Science with Treatment Recommendations (CoSTR)1 and the European Resuscitation Council (ERC) Guidelines,2 the Resuscitation editorial team was expecting a relatively quiet 2011. Instead, we are delighted to report a substantial increase in the number and, more importantly, the quality of submissions to the journal. Here we summarise briefly the key papers published in Resuscitation in 2010.

- Regional cerebral oxygen saturation on hospital arrival is a potential novel predictor of neurological outcomes at hospital discharge in patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest
Although small sample size precludes definitive conclusions and a validation study in larger and more diverse patient groups is warranted, our data suggest that rSO2 may help predict not only poor but also good neurological outcome at hospital discharge in OHCA patients.
