History

Mission statement

  • The International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR) will provide a mechanism by which the international science and knowledge relevant to cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and emergency cardiovascular care (ECC) is identified and reviewed.
  • ILCOR will periodically develop and publish a consensus on resuscitation science. When possible, ILCOR will publish treatment recommendations applicable to all member organisations.
  • This consensus mechanism may be used by member organisations to provide consistent guidelines on resuscitation.   ILCOR will encourage co-ordination of guideline development and publication by its member organisations.
  • While the major focus will be on evaluation of cardiopulmonary resuscitation and emergency cardiovascular care science, ILCOR will also address the effectiveness of education and training, and approaches to the organisation and implementation of emergency cardiovascular care.
