The European Resuscitation Council (ERC) is the European Interdisciplinary Council for Resuscitation Medicine and Emergency Medical Care. It was established in 1989. [1]

Contents

The ERC is the network of National Resuscitation Councils in Europe. [1] [2] [3]

The ERC is a member of the International Liaison Committee On Resuscitation (ILCOR), where ERC experts contribute actively to the worldwide Consensus On Science and Treatment Recommendations (CoSTR). The ERC also supports and initiates scientific studies related to resuscitation. Resuscitation is the official journal of the ERC. [4]

The first chairman of the European Resuscitation Council (ERC) was Peter Baskett. A Board of 11 Directors sets the long-term plans of the organisation. Each Director holds additional specific responsibilities. [5]

Mission statement

The ERC's mission is To preserve human life by making high quality resuscitation available to all. [1] Based on the CoSTR, the ERC publishes European Resuscitation Guidelines that are the standard for resuscitation practice and training in and beyond Europe.
