description During the COVID-19 pandemic, there was an urgent need to revise the existing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) guidelines published in 2015.

Although there is a clear consensus in most recommendations, there are also disparities. Their implementation in everyday clinical practice would alleviate the fear of health workers at the prehospital level and reduce the indecision to apply CPR in such patients as well.
