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.

TL;DR: The European Resuscitation Council Guidelines as mentioned in this paper present the most up-to-date evidence-based guidelines for the practice of resuscitation across Europe, which cover the epidemiology of cardiac arrest; the role that systems play in saving lives, adult basic life support, adult advanced life support.

TL;DR: The European Resuscitation Council Ethics guidelines as discussed by the authors provide evidence-based recommendations for the ethical, routine practice of resuscitation and end-of-life care of adults and children.

TL;DR: A systematic review of the literature on family presence during pediatric and neonatal resuscitation has not been previously conducted as discussed by the authors, where the authors identified two key sets of findings: first, parents/family members want to be offered the option to be present for their child's resuscitation and health care provider attitudes varied widely (ranging from 15% to >85%).
