[The impact of 2010 international consensus on CPR and ECC science with treatment recommendations on Japan].

New guidelines on cardiopulmonary resuscitation(CPR) and emergency cardiovascular care (ECC) were published in October 2010 from International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR). Changes of these guidelines will have dramatic effects on Japan. Starting with chest compressions first will increase by-stander CPR. Cases of recovery of spontaneous heartbeat could increase as a result. Intensive care and radical treatments for cardiovascular emergency and brain damage after cardiopulmonary arrest would be essential. Education, implementation and teams (EIT) will be the third subject.
