Dispatcher-assisted cardiopulmonary resuscitation (DACPR) significantly improves the survival of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients. However, the effectiveness of DACPR may vary depending on the location of the cardiac arrest. This study compares DACPR outcomes in private homes versus public places. ⋯ This study demonstrated reduced DACPR effectiveness in public places compared to private homes, potentially influenced by caller factors, environmental conditions, and the caller-patient relationship. Developing location-specific strategies is essential to enhance DACPR effectiveness.

This is the eighth annual summary of the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation International Consensus on Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Emergency Cardiovascular Care Science With Treatment Recommendations; a more comprehensive review was done in 2020. This latest summary addresses the most recent published resuscitation evidence reviewed by the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation task force science experts. ⋯ Insights into the deliberations of the task forces are provided in the Justification and Evidence-to-Decision Framework Highlights sections. In addition, the task forces list priority knowledge gaps for further research.
