2005 ECC Guidelines

ECC Guidelines Publication Date Change

As many of you know, the AHA ECC Guidelines originally were scheduled for publication on December 13. This date would have followed two weeks after the publication of the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR) Consensus on Science and Treatment Recommendations (CoSTR).

In order to avoid confusion about the differences between the consensus document and Guidelines, the decision was made to "fast track" the Guidelines publication to November 28, the same day CoSTR is published. The CoSTR document will be published at 9:00 a.m. EST, and ECC Guidelines will be posted approximately 30 minutes after CoSTR.

Although the electronic version of the ECC Guidelines will be available beginning November 28, the print version still will be published in Circulation on December 13.
