[ILCOR 2010 recommendations. The evidence evaluation process in resuscitation]

Abstract

The consensus document on the Science of Resuscitation and Emergency Cardiac Care with ILCOR Treatment Recommendations is an invaluable tool for quickly, simply and rigorously establishing the evidence on which the Resuscitation Guidelines 2010 are fundamented. We present a method that has been used in the review process according to evidence-based medicine, which can be considered a role model for both individual and collective use in clinical practice, not only in the field of resuscitation but also in other areas of medicine.
