Translation and interpretation of the Telecommunicator cardiopulmonary resuscitation: a policy statement from the American Heart Association / 中华危重病急救医学

ABSTRACT

Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is a global medical challenge. Early case recognition and initiating the chain of survival is associated with good prognosis of these patients. On the basis of former research, American Heart Association (AHA) published a policy statement related to telecommunicator cardiopulmonary resuscitation (T-CPR) in March 2020, and introduced its specific procedures, standards and precautions. To assist Chinese doctors in better understanding of the T-CPR, and give a reference for the emergency curing of OHCA, the guideline was translated and interpreted in this paper.
