Abstract
Despite significant advances in the field of resuscitation science, important knowledge
gaps persist. Current guidelines for resuscitation are based on the International
Liaison Committee on Resuscitation 2015 International Consensus on Cardiopulmonary
Resuscitation and Emergency Cardiovascular Care Science With Treatment Recommendations,
which includes treatment recommendations supported by the available evidence. The
writing group developed this consensus statement with the goal of focusing future
research by addressing the knowledge gaps identified during and after the 2015 International
Liaison Committee on Resuscitation evidence evaluation process. Key publications since
the 2015 International Consensus on Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Emergency Cardiovascular
Care Science With Treatment Recommendations are referenced, along with known ongoing
clinical trials that are likely to affect future guidelines. © 2018 European Resuscitation
