    AbstractERC Guidelines 2010 highlight the importance of dispatcher assisted cardiopulmonary resuscitation. The concept has been in use in emergency medical services in the USA since the mid-Eighties where it accounted for a considerable rise in bystander resuscitation. Subsequently it was implemented in some major Scandinavian cities. Studies from those countries showed that the rate of survivors in good neurological condition can be raised significantly. Yet, this procedure has not been widely established in Germany so far. In this article the positive effects of the approach are illustrated as well as its limitations some of which can be resolved putting in reasonable effort. The relevance of dispatcher assisted CPR for emergency medical dispatchers as well as the emergency medical crews at the scene is then discussed.© Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart · New York.
