The 2005 guidelines for resuscitation. Recommendations for den- tists: Sudden cardiac arrest is associated with poor survival re- sults. The survival to discharge from hospital is rapidly reduced for every minute without cardiopulmonary re- suscitation. In November, 2005, new international and evi- dence-based guidelines for cardiopulmonary resuscitation were published. This article describes the guidelines from a Danish den- tist’s point of view. The guidelines for basic life support, the use of an automated external defi brillator and some of the advanced cardiovascular life support guidelines are dis cussed.
