@misc{10498/39371, year = {2025}, url = {http://hdl.handle.net/10498/39371}, abstract = {These Guidelines of the European Resuscitation Council (ERC) on Ethics in Resuscitation provide evidence-informed recommendations on the ethical considerations of resuscitation, focusing on advance care planning, the involvement of bystanders and first responders, family presence during resuscitation, termination of resuscitation, and ethical considerations for systems, education, research, and low-resource settings. The recommendations in this chapter are informed by the Consensus on Science and Treatment Recommendations (CoSTR) by the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR), focused reviews by the ERC Ethics Writing Group of the ERC Guidelines 2025 on Ethics in Resuscitation, and expert consensus within the writing group. We have emphasised considerations for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, in-hospital cardiac arrest, and paediatric cardiac arrest throughout the guidelines. These guidelines aim to ensure that resuscitation decisions are made in alignment with patient values and preferences, and they emphasise the importance of a patient-centred approach to care. The Guidelines also address the balance between beneficence and autonomy, stakeholder involvement, transparency and the use of artificial intelligence in resuscitation research, and the multiple aspects for education in ethics in resuscitation.}, publisher = {Elsevier}, keywords = {Resuscitation}, keywords = {Cardiopulmonary resuscitation}, keywords = {Cardiac arres}, keywords = {Ethics}, keywords = {Advance care planning}, keywords = {Termination of resuscitation}, keywords = {Organ donation}, keywords = {Bystander}, keywords = {Family involvement}, keywords = {Low-resource setting}, keywords = {Suicide}, keywords = {Education and systems}, keywords = {Research ethics}, title = {European Resuscitation Council Guidelines 2025 Ethics in Resuscitation}, doi = {10.1016/J.RESUSCITATION.2025.110734}, author = {Raffay, Violetta and Wittig, Johannes and Bossaert, Leo and Djakow, Jana and Djarv, Therese and Estella García, Ángel and Lulic, Ileana and Mentzelopoulos, Spyros D. and Monsieurs, Koenraad G. and Van de Voorde, Patrick and Lauridsen, Kasper G.}, }
