Abstract

Cardiac arrest continues to be one of the most critical health emergencies worldwide, associated with high morbidity and mortality. Prepared in light of recent developments in resuscitation science, the 2025 American Heart Association Guidelines for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Emergency Cardiovascular Care present new evidence-based recommendations aiming to increase survival rates. This review aims to examine the critical updates included in the guidelines, specifically under the headings of "Systems of Care," "Adult Basic Life Support," "Adult Advanced Life Support," "Cardiac Arrest in Special Situations," "Tachycardia Management," "Post-Cardiac Arrest Care," and "Resuscitation Education Science." In the Systems of Care section, which forms the foundation of the guidelines, it is emphasized that survival depends not only on medical interventions but also on educational efficiency and the quality of local implementation. The concept of the "Chain of Survival" has been expanded to include recovery and survivorship phases, and the importance of community-based interventions and the principle of equity has been highlighted. In the Adult Basic Life Support section, the term "lay rescuer" has been preferred over "bystander" terminology to encourage action, and the use of technology-assisted feedback systems has been recommended alongside early defibrillation and high-quality chest compressions. Evidence regarding airway management strategies and defibrillation techniques in Adult Advanced Life Support algorithms has been updated. In Tachycardia Management, current approaches to electrical cardioversion are summarized. The Cardiac Arrest in Special Situations section, which covers a substantial part of the guidelines, includes specialized management strategies for specific etiologies such as opioid toxicity, pregnancy, pulmonary embolism, and drowning. The integration of naloxone administration into standard resuscitation practices in opioid-associated arrests is strongly emphasized. Finally, the Post-Cardiac Arrest Care section focuses on the determinant effect of management after the return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) on hospital discharge and long-term neurological outcomes. Targeted temperature management, hemodynamic stabilization goals, and multimodal neuroprognostication approaches are addressed as the cornerstones of this process. In conclusion, this review offers an up-to-date guide for clinicians by synthesizing the innovations introduced by the guidelines. Translating global standards into practice by supporting them with local data, such as in Turkey (e.g., the TROHCA study), will play a key role in improving cardiac arrest survival rates in our country.

Özet

Kardiyak arrest, dünya genelinde yüksek morbidite ve mortalite ile seyreden en kritik acil sağlık sorunlarından biri olmaya devam etmektedir. Resüsitasyon bilimindeki son gelişmeler ışığında hazırlanan 2025 Amerikan Kalp Derneği Kardiyopulmoner Resüsitasyon ve Acil Kardiyovasküler Bakım Kılavuzu, sağkalım oranlarını artırmayı hedefleyen kanıta dayalı yeni öneriler sunmaktadır. Bu derleme, kılavuzda yer alan kritik güncellemeleri, özellikle "Bakım Sistemleri", "Erişkin Temel Yaşam Desteği", "Erişkin İleri Yaşam Desteği", "Özel Durumlarda Kardiyak Arrest", "Taşikardi Yönetimi", "Kardiyak Arrest Sonrası Bakım" ve ''Resüsitasyon Eğitim Bilimi'' başlıkları altında incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Kılavuzun temelini oluşturan Bakım Sistemleri bölümünde, sağkalımın sadece tıbbi müdahalelere değil, aynı zamanda eğitimsel verimlilik ve yerel uygulama kalitesine bağlı olduğu vurgulanmaktadır. "Hayatta Kalma Zinciri" kavramı, iyileşme ve hayatta kalma aşamalarını da içerecek şekilde genişletilmiş; toplum temelli müdahalelerin ve eşitlik ilkesinin önemi artırılmıştır. Erişkin Temel Yaşam Desteği bölümünde, tanık terminolojisi yerine eyleme teşvik edici "halktan kurtarıcı" terimi tercih edilmiş , erken defibrilasyon ve yüksek kaliteli göğüs kompresyonlarının yanı sıra teknoloji destekli geri bildirim sistemlerinin kullanımı önerilmiştir. Erişkin İleri Yaşam Desteği algoritmalarında hava yolu yönetimi stratejileri ve defibrilasyon tekniklerine dair kanıtlar güncellenmiştir. Taşikardi yönetiminde, elektriksel kardiyoversiyon üzerindeki güncel yaklaşımlar özetlenmiştir. Kılavuzda geniş yer bulan Özel Durumlarda Kardiyak Arrest bölümü, opioid toksisitesi, gebelik, pulmoner emboli ve boğulma gibi spesifik etiyolojilere yönelik özelleştirilmiş yönetim stratejilerini içermektedir. Opioid ilişkili arrestlerde nalokson kullanımının, standart resüsitasyon uygulamalarına entegrasyonu güçlü bir şekilde vurgulanmıştır. Son olarak, Kardiyak Arrest Sonrası Bakım bölümü, spontan dolaşımın geri dönüşü (SDGD) sonrası yönetimin, hastaneden taburculuk ve uzun dönem nörolojik sonuçlar üzerindeki belirleyici etkisine odaklanmaktadır. Sıcaklık yönetimi, hemodinamik stabilizasyon hedefleri ve multimodal nöroprognostikasyon yaklaşımları, bu sürecin temel taşları olarak ele alınmıştır. Sonuç olarak bu derleme, kılavuzun getirdiği yenilikleri sentezleyerek klinisyenlere güncel bir rehber sunmaktadır. Küresel standartların, Türkiye’deki gibi yerel verilerle (örn. TROHCA çalışması) desteklenerek pratiğe aktarılması, ülkemizdeki kardiyak arrest sağkalım oranlarının iyileştirilmesinde kilit rol oynayacaktır.
