2020 Korean Guidelines for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation. Part 4. Adult advanced life support

摘要

Adult advanced life support (ALS) is an important part of the chain of survival, promoting systemic circulation and oxygen supply during high-quality basic life support in patients with cardiac arrest. It includes advanced airway management, manual defibrillation, pharmacological therapy with vasopressors and antiarrhythmic agents, use of an extracorporeal circulation device, and other techniques to achieve return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) [1-3].
