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.
