The European Resuscitation Council (ERC) developed the Systems Saving Lives guidelines, based on the 2025 ILCOR Consensus on Science with Treatment Recommendations (CoSTR). These guidelines address various topics including the chain of survival, advocacy, CPR awareness campaigns, Kids Save Lives, resuscitation in low-resource settings, social media, first responders, EMS organisation for cardiac arrest, in-hospital cardiac arrest management, cardiac arrest centres, system performance improvement, survivors, and new technologies and artificial intelligence.

The public comment period for the Draft Guidelines chapters is open until May 30, 2025, and we look forward to your valued contribution.
