New guidelines 2021 for cardiopulmonary resuscitation in adults. In March 2021, the new European Resuscitation Council (ERC) guidelines for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) were presented in Antwerp (Belgium). Every 5 years, these guidelines are renewed. They are based on the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR) 2020 Consensus on Science and Treatment Recommendations (CoSTR). In this manuscript, the most important aspects of these guidelines are summarized. Furthermore, the changes with regard to the guidelines of 2015 are emphasized. Basic life support (BLS), advanced life support (ALS) and post-resuscitation care are discussed. The 2021 guidelines can be downloaded from the internet (http://www.erc.edu).

Background: The European Resuscitation Council (ERC) 2015 basic life support (BLS) algorithm has been simplified compared with the ERC 2010 BLS algorithm. Simplification of resuscitation guidelines may facilitate learning and improve guidelines adherence. This study aimed to study BLS performance using ERC 2015 compared with ERC 2010 guidelines. Methods: This is an observational study including video recordings of laypersons being skill tested after participation in a standardized ERC BLS/AED course using either the simplified ERC 2015 or ERC 2010 guidelines. The endpoints were 1) performing all steps of the BLS/AED algorithm correctly, 2) remembering the sequence of actions of the BLS/AED algorithm, 3) time to emergency medical service call, 4) time to first chest compression and 5) time to first shock. Results: We analyzed videos of 100 laypersons (50 trained using the simplified 2015 guidelines and 50 trained using the 2010 guidelines). Overall, 78% and 62% correctly performed all of the steps of the 2015 and 2010 guidelines respectively (p=0.08), whereas 94% and 82% remembered the correct sequence of actions of the 2015 and 2010 algorithms, respectively (p=0.06). There was no significant difference between participants following the 2015 vs 2010 algorithms with respect to time to emergency medical service call (difference: 0 sec, (95% confidence interval (CI): -3; 2) P=0.70), time to first chest compression (difference: 0 sec, (95% CI: -3;3) P=1.00), and time to first shock (difference: 0 sec, (95% CI: -6; 7) P=0.90). Conclusion: Laypersons tends to better perform resuscitation and adhere to the BLS algorithm when using the simplified ERC 2015 guidelines compared to the 2010 Guidelines. There were however no differences in time to emergency medical service call, time to first chest compression and shock delivery.

Background. The 2015 European Resuscitation Council (ERC) Guidelines for Resuscitation and support of transition of babies at birth stress the importance of adequate preparation by the healthcare professionals who are going to receive the newborn immediately after birth in order to avoid preventable neonate deterioration. Midwives and pediatricians are the healthcare professionals in the frontline of neonate reception. Methods. Based on the 2015 ERC guidelines we created a 9-item checklist of indispensable actions for correct preparation for neonate reception after vaginal delivery or cesarean section. 78 midwives and 39 pediatricians were included in this prospective observational study. The impact of prior neonate life support training (NLS) on their performance was also assessed. Results. Regarding preparation for neonate reception, participants performed significantly better when the neonate was delivered by vaginal delivery (mean score 7.21±1.77 vs 5.45±1.55 for cesarean section, p<0.0005). Furthermore, midwives performed significantly better (performance score 6.88±1.87) than pediatricians even when subgroup analysis was performed for residents (5.40±1.59, p=0.002) and consultants (5.46±1.47, p=0.002). Previous NLS training resulted in significantly higher performance scores (6.57±1.81 vs 5.18±1.91 for no NLS training, p=0.004). Conclusions. In the present study midwives performed better than consultant and resident pediatricians in preparing for receiving a neonate immediately after birth and neonatal life support training led to significantly better performance when compared to particiants with no prior NLS training. To our knowledge, this is the first study to assess these skills in midwives and pediatricians.

Σκοπός: Μελέτη της επίδρασης της οκτάλεπτης καρδιακής ανακοπής (ΚΑ) και της χορήγησης ερυθροποιητίνης στη νεφρική λειτουργία μετά από καρδιοαναπνευστική αναζωογόνηση (ΚΑΑ). Μέθοδος: Εικοσιτέσσερα (24) χοιρίδια ράτσας Landrace/Large–White, γένους θηλυκού, ηλικίας 10–15 εβδομάδων, μέσου βάρους 19±2 kg, κατανεμήθηκαν τυχαία σε 2 ομάδες των 12 υποκειμένων. Μετά το τέλος μιας οκτάλεπτης περιόδου κοιλιακής μαρμαρυγής, η ομάδα ελέγχου (Ομάδα C) έλαβε φυσιολογικό ορό ως placebo, ενώ η ομάδα ερυθροποιητίνης (Ομάδα Ε) έλαβε ερυθροποιητίνη 5000 U/kg. Τα ζώα αναζωογονήθηκαν σύμφωνα με τις κατευθυντήριες οδηγίες του Ευρωπαϊκού Συμβουλίου Αναζωογόνησης (ERC Guidelines 2010). Αποτελέσματα: Πέντε ζώα (41,67%) από την Ομάδα C και 11 ζώα (91,67%) από την Ομάδα Ε ανέκτησαν αυτόματη κυκλοφορία (p =0.027). Οκτώ ζώα (66,67%, 5 επιβιώσαντα και 3 θανόντα) της Ομάδας C υπέστησαν σοβαρή νεφρική βλάβη ή οξεία νεφρική βλάβη (ΟΝΒ) σε σύγκριση με τα ζώα της Ομάδας Ε, από την οποία κανένα χοιρίδιο δεν εμφάνισε στοιχεία σοβαρής νεφρικής βλάβης ή ΟΝΒ (p=0.001). Υπήρξε στατιστικά σημαντική διαφορά σε όλους τους βιοχημικούς δείκτες ανάμεσα στις δύο ομάδες, καθώς και θετική συσχέτιση της κρεατινίνης με τους NGAL, L–FABP και IL–18 (αθροιζόμενες μέσες τιμές p=0.049, 0.01 και 0.004, αντίστοιχα). Συμπεράσματα: Η οκτάλεπτη ΚΑ προκαλεί ΟΝΒ και η χορήγηση ερυθροποιητίνης προστατεύει τα χοιρίδια από ΟΝΒ μετά από ΚΑΑ.
