Rethinking Resuscitation
group of respected organizations . These include the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation ( ILCOR ), the Surviving Sepsis Campaign , the American College of Surgeons , the American College of Emergency Physicians , the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology , the American Academy of Pediatrics , the Society of Critical Care Medicine , and several others . ILCOR works with international resuscitation specialists to evaluate and summarize the latest research and to create an international Consensus on Science with Treatment Recommendation ( CoSTR ) for adult , pediatric , and neonatal resuscitation . Because international recommendations do not always apply to the United States , ILCOR expects national resuscitation organizations like the Red Cross to develop educational programs and guidelines that are specific to their countries . The Red Cross Scientific Advisory Council reviews the work and recommendations by ILCOR and when creating guidelines , considers regulatory requirements , resources needed , the impact on health equity , feasibility , and several other considerations specific to practice in the United States . In addition to this work , the Red Cross guidelines address the broader etiologies of cardiac arrest and conditions requiring resuscitation , such as septic shock and drowning . The Red Cross does this by incorporating scientific reviews by the Red Cross Scientific Advisory Council , by ILCOR , and by other national professional organizations and guideline development groups .
