The European Resuscitation Council, however, receives support from the European Society of Cardiology, the European Academy of Anaesthesiology, the European Society of Intensive Care Medicine, many national societies representing the same disciplines, national resuscitation councils and also voluntary aid societies. It is able to draw on a wide range of expertise from all European countries and is the appropriate body to produce guidelines for use within our continent that are based on scientific data derived from all parts of the world. In the recent past, most European countries have used guidelines developed by the American Heart Association’, but international cooperation in resuscitation procedures began in 1986 with the publication of guidelines that had been produced jointly by the Resuscitation Council of the United Kingdom2 and by a group representing five Nordic countries. This article is concerned only with Advanced Life Support and only with the immediate period of the cardiac arrest. A nucleus of 14 experts from 11 countries was set up to prepare a draft document based on the best available information. Individual expertise and databases were supplemented from three additional sources. First, the scientific papers that were used to draw up the 1986 United Kingdom Nordic guidelines were updated and published in 1991 3-‘o. Secondly, a new set of
