TL;DR: Ventilatory variables and indexes of lung severity were significantly associated with mortality and higher maximum and median tidal volumes were associated with reduced mortality, even when corrected for severity of lung disease.

TL;DR: The Pediatric Task Force reviewed all questions submitted by the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation member councils in 2010, reviewed all council training materials and resuscitation guidelines and algorithms, and conferred on recent areas of interest and controversy.

TL;DR: The International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation has initiated a near-continuous review of cardiopulmonary resuscitation science that replaces the previous 5-year cyclic batch-and-queue approach process and lists the top 3 knowledge gaps for each population, intervention, comparator, and outcome question.

TL;DR: This summary addresses the role of cardiac arrest centers and dispatcher-assisted cardiopulmonary resuscitation, the role for presyncope by first aid providers, advanced airway interventions in adults and children, targeted temperature management in children after cardiac arrest, and initial oxygen concentration during resuscitation of newborns.
