A basic life support working group of the European Resuscitation Council was set up in 1991. It was given the objective of producing agreed standards of basic life support to ensure uniform teaching of the techniques to health care professionals and lay people throughout Europe. A common complaint in the past, particularly from members of the public who have received instruction in basic life support, is that different organisations teach different techniques. This problem exists within countries as well as among countries. The European Resuscitation Council presents below its basic life support guidelines, which it hopes will be detailed enough to avoid any ambiguities and to be acceptable for use in all the countries represented by the council.
欧洲复苏委员会的一个基本生命支持工作组于1991年成立。其目标是制定公认的基本生命支持标准，以确保在欧洲各地向医疗保健专业人员和普通民众统一教授这些技术。过去常见的一个抱怨，尤其是来自接受过基本生命支持培训的公众的抱怨，是不同组织教授不同的技术。这个问题在国内以及国家之间都存在。欧洲复苏委员会在下文介绍其基本生命支持指南，希望该指南足够详细，以避免任何歧义，并能被委员会所代表的所有国家接受使用。
