Abstract

The 2025 European Resuscitation Council (ERC) guidelines introduce updated recommendations for adult Basic Life Support (BLS) and Advanced Life Support (ALS), with a strong focus on early recognition, high-quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), timely defibrillation, and physiologically guided resuscitation. This article summarizes the most relevant changes and practical implications for healthcare professionals and bystander.
