TL;DR: A critical review of the scientific literature by appointed ILCOR First Aid Task Force members and evidence evaluators resulted in consensus on science statements with treatment recommendations for 22 selected questions addressing first aid interventions.

TL;DR: Topics covered included training for the treatment of opioid overdose; basic life support, including automated external defibrillator training; measuring implementation and performance in communities, and cardiac arrest centers; advanced life support training, including team and leadership training and rapid response teams; measuring cardiopulmonary resuscitation performance, feedback devices, and debriefing.

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.
