2022 Interim Guidance to Health Care Providers for Basic and Advanced Cardiac Life Support in Adults, Children, and Neonates With Suspected or Confirmed COVID-19: From the Emergency Cardiovascular Care Committee and Get With The Guidelines-Resuscitat

The American Heart Association, along with its collaborating organizations American Academy of Pediatrics, American Association for Respiratory Care, American Society of Anesthesiologists, and the Society of Critical Care Anesthesiologists, is committed to providing the most up-to-date evidence-based guidelines on resuscitation and supporting the health care providers that provide these interventions. At times, there is a need for an interim statement based on new data or, in the case of this pandemic, a rapidly changing environment. Interim guidance may arise from a scientific review of a single topic, or the need for a best-practice statement because of new or urgent public health initiatives. Based on evolving epidemiological reports, emergence of new and more transmissible strains of the coronavirus, declining vaccine effectiveness, as well as recent feedback from the health care provider community, it became clear that the guidance developed in the spring of 2021 and published in October 2021 needed to be updated to emphasize fully protecting health care providers who perform resuscitation. Our overall guiding principles and goals in providing this interim guidance are to achieve the best possible resuscitation outcomes and simultaneously ensure optimal protection for health care providers. Language has been clarified in this updated interim guidance to adhere to this guiding principle. Interim guidance will continue to evolve as the pandemic continues to ensure our guidance reflects the best, most up-to-date science and available evidence to guide best practices.

Abstract

The American Heart Association, along with its collaborating organizations American Academy of Pediatrics, American Association for Respiratory Care, American Society of Anesthesiologists, and the Society of Critical Care Anesthesiologists, is committed to providing the most up-to-date evidence-based guidelines on resuscitation and supporting the health care providers that provide these interventions. At times, there is a need for an interim statement based on new data or, in the case of this pandemic, a rapidly changing environment. Interim guidance may arise from a scientific review of a single topic, or the need for a best-practice statement because of new or urgent public health initiatives. Based on evolving epidemiological reports, emergence of new and more transmissible strains of the coronavirus, declining vaccine effectiveness, as well as recent feedback from the health care provider community, it became clear that the guidance developed in the spring of 2021 and published in October 2021 needed to be updated to emphasize fully protecting health care providers who perform resuscitation. Our overall guiding principles and goals in providing this interim guidance are to achieve the best possible resuscitation outcomes and simultaneously ensure optimal protection for health care providers. Language has been clarified in this updated interim guidance to adhere to this guiding principle. Interim guidance will continue to evolve as the pandemic continues to ensure our guidance reflects the best, most up-to-date science and available evidence to guide best practices.
