☆☆ This review includes information on resuscitation questions developed through the C2010 Consensus on Science and Treatment Recommendations process, managed by the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (http://www.americanheart.org/ILCOR). The questions were developed by ILCOR Task Forces, using strict conflict of interest guidelines. In general, each question was assigned to two experts to complete a detailed structured review of the literature, and complete a detailed worksheet. Worksheets are discussed at ILCOR meetings to reach consensus and will be published in 2010 as the Consensus on Science and Treatment Recommendations (CoSTR). The conclusions published in the final CoSTR consensus document may differ from the conclusions of in this review because the CoSTR consensus will reflect input from other worksheet authors and discussants at the conference, and will take into consideration implementation and feasibility issues as well as new relevant research.
