RCP 2010 AHA cambio A-B-C a C-A-B

This “Guidelines Highlights” publication summarizes the key issues and changes in the 2010 American Heart Association (AHA) Guidelines for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) and Emergency Cardiovascular Care (ECC). It has been developed for resuscitation providers and for AHA instructors to focus on resuscitation science and guidelines recommendations that are most important or controversial or will result in changes in resuscitation practice or resuscitation training. In addition, it provides the rationale for the recommendations.
Because this publication is designed as a summary, it does not reference the supporting published studies and does not list Classes of Recommendations or Levels of Evidence.
For more detailed information and references, the reader is encouraged to read the 2010 AHA Guidelines for CPR and ECC, including the Executive Summary,1 published online in Circulation in October 2010 and to consult the detailed summary of resuscitation science in the 2010 International Consensus on CPR and ECC Science With Treatment Recommendations, published simultaneously in Circulation2 and Resuscitation.3
This year marks the 50th anniversary of the first peer-reviewed medical publication documenting survival after closed chest compression for cardiac arrest,4 and resuscitation experts and providers remain dedicated to reducing death and disability from cardiovascular diseases and stroke.
Bystanders, first responders, and healthcare providers all play key roles in providing CPR for victims of cardiac arrest.
In addition, advanced providers can provide excellent periarrest and postarrest care.
