  • Providing CPR on a firm surface remains important, but this must be balanced with avoiding delays in CPR initiation.
  • Following return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) after cardiac arrest, a mean arterial pressure of at least 60-65mmHg is suggested for adults; a systolic blood pressure > 10th percentile for age should be targeted for children.
  • Treatment of seizures after ROSC is suggested in both adults and children. Seizure prophylaxis is not suggested.
