The good news in resuscitation is that there have not been any new advances that mandate a change in practice since the 2016 ANZCOR Guidelines. The bad news is that despite our best intent, the ever-increasing research appears unable to demonstrate improved outcomes with any particular approach. Two of the most exciting areas (eCPR and post-resuscitation care) are being covered in detail at separate talks at this meeting. This presentation will focus on updating the audience on the more continuous approach to evidence evaluation, and the key recent publications that have made us at least re-evaluate our practices in BLS (including ventilation), ALS (including anti-arrhythmics) and peri-resuscitation care.
