Abstract

Despite considerable advances in the management, the prognosis of patients resuscitated from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) remains poor. To standardize clinical practice patterns and to improve outcomes, the guidelines provide scientific statements. It is challenging to develop and establish novel diagnostic and therapeutic strategies in randomized controlled trials in patients with OHCA. Nonetheless, important randomized data have been recently published in the field of resuscitation science. This review article provides an overview of updates on OHCA and resuscitation, focusing on key topics since 2020.
