Corrigendum to “European Resuscitation Council Guidelines 2021: Cardiac arrest in special circumstances” [Resuscitation 161 (2021) 152–219]

Page 165 – The last bullet point in the left column should read:•Resuscitate according to ALS MODIFIED algorithm:○VF/ pVT → Defibrillate: apply up to 3 consecutive shocks (<1 min).○Asystole/extreme bradycardia → Apply early pacing (<1 min).○PEA → Correct potentially reversible causes. If paced rhythm, turn off pacing to check the underlying rhythm. Page 182 – In the second paragraph, the sentence beginning "isotonic or hypertonic…" should read: Isotonic or hypertonic fluids should be administered (with blood sodium ≤130 mEq/l up to 3 × 100 ml 3% NaCl at 10 min intervals).206 Page 190 – In the section "Restore pulsatile cardiac rhythm", the sentence beginning "In the presence of a pulseless…" should read: In the presence of a pulseless stimulated rhythm, pacing should be paused to eventually unmask the underlying rhythm and follow the appropriate resuscitation protocol. The authors would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused. European Resuscitation Council Guidelines 2021: Cardiac arrest in special circumstancesResuscitationVol. 161PreviewThese European Resuscitation Council (ERC) Cardiac Arrest in Special Circumstances guidelines are based on the 2020 International Consensus on Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Science with Treatment Recommendations. This section provides guidelines on the modifications required to basic and advanced life support for the prevention and treatment of cardiac arrest in special circumstances; specifically special causes (hypoxia, trauma, anaphylaxis, sepsis, hypo/hyperkalaemia and other electrolyte disorders, hypothermia, avalanche, hyperthermia and malignant hyperthermia, pulmonary embolism, coronary thrombosis, cardiac tamponade, tension pneumothorax, toxic agents), special settings (operating room, cardiac surgery, catheter laboratory, dialysis unit, dental clinics, transportation (in-flight, cruise ships), sport, drowning, mass casualty incidents), and special patient groups (asthma and COPD, neurological disease, obesity, pregnancy).
