ILCOR publishes 2026 resuscitation consensus summary

The annual ILCOR consensus summary reviews recent resuscitation evidence considered by six task forces. The groups assessed evidence certainty using GRADE and issued consensus treatment recommendations, while identifying research priorities.

The 2026 International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR) Consensus on Science With Treatment Recommendations summarizes resuscitation evidence reviewed by its Basic Life Support, Advanced Life Support, Pediatric Life Support, Neonatal Life Support, Education, Implementation, and Teams, and First Aid task forces. A comprehensive review was completed in 2025; the current summary addresses the most recently published evidence considered by those groups.

Task force members assessed evidence certainty using Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) criteria. The report includes consensus treatment recommendations, explanations of how decisions were made, and priority knowledge gaps for future research. The supplied abstract does not describe individual recommendations or the evidence supporting them, so their clinical implications cannot be assessed from this summary alone.
