EMS providers know that saving the life of a person in sudden cardiac arrest depends on a quick response, the effective use of CPR and early defibrillation.

The purpose of this course is to communicate recent significant changes and additions to the training guidelines for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and emergency cardiac care (ECC) to EMS providers. The content of this course is derived from the comprehensive research, review, and findings of the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR).

The most recent update was released on October 15, 2015. Understanding and applying the changes to ECC guidelines is essential for EMS providers to continue to provide the best possible care to patients in cardiac arrest.
