Abstract
The process involved in translating experimental and clinical research into cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) guidelines is evolving rapidly and becoming more sophisticated. The International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR) coordinates the international CPR science review process and work is well advanced on the 2015 CPR science review. All the data related to CPR is reviewed carefully and assessed for quality. The Grades of Recommendation Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) system has now been adopted for the whole CPR science and guideline development process.
