Abstract
These European Resuscitation Council Ethics guidelines provide evidence-based recommendations
for the ethical, routine practice of resuscitation and end-of-life care of adults
and children. The guideline primarily focus on major ethical practice interventions
(i.e. advance directives, advance care planning, and shared decision making), decision
making regarding resuscitation, education, and research. These areas are tightly related
to the application of the principles of bioethics in the practice of resuscitation
and end-of-life care.
