      Part 4: advanced life support: 2015 international consensus on cardiopulmonary resuscitation and emergency cardiovascular care science with treatment recommendations.
      Advances in our understanding of OHCA have made it clear that any single intervention is likely too simple and the timeliness of appropriate therapies will also influence survival. The rapid identification and effective management of OHCA is critical to patient outcomes.
