In this article, 15 experts from six countries present an abridged version of the 1998 European Resuscitation Council guidelines for adult basic life support. Persons trained in advanced life support should use these guidelines together with the guidelines for advanced life support, also published in this journal. There are a few changes from the previous guidelines published in 1993. The ventilation tidal volume has been reduced to 400-600 ml, and the chest compression frequency has been increased to 100 min-1. In Norway, but not in the rest of Europe, the evaluation of the circulation by a pulse check has been eliminated in basic, but not in advanced cardiopulmonary resuscitation. This is due to reports that pulse checks performed by lay rescuers require much time with poor specificity and sensitivity. Finally, in evaluating the patient's own ventilation the differentiation between agonal gasps and regular breaths is stressed.
在本文中，来自六个国家的15位专家介绍了1998年欧洲复苏委员会成人基本生命支持指南的节略版。接受过高级生命支持培训的人员应将这些指南与同样发表在本杂志上的高级生命支持指南一起使用。与1993年发布的先前指南相比有一些变化。通气潮气量已降至400 - 600毫升，胸外按压频率已提高到每分钟100次。在挪威，而不是欧洲其他地区，在基本心肺复苏中已不再通过触摸脉搏来评估循环情况，但在高级心肺复苏中仍保留。这是因为有报告称，非专业救援人员进行脉搏检查需要花费大量时间，且特异性和敏感性较差。最后，在评估患者自身通气时，强调了濒死喘息与正常呼吸之间的区别。
