AbstractThe European Resuscitation Council (ERC) last issued guidelines for Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) in 1998 [1]. The American Heart Association, together with representatives from the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR), then undertook a series of evidence-based evaluations of the science of resuscitation [2] which culminated in the publication of "Guidelines 2000 for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Emergency Cardiovascular Care" in August 2000 [3,4]. The Basic Life Support and Automated External Defibrillation Working Group (BLS&AED Working Group of the ERC) has considered this document and has recommended changes in the ERC AED guidelines. These are presented in this paper.
