To analyse the current knowledge based on the experimental and the clinical research studies focused on the main fields of cardiopulmonary resuscitation. ⋯ Many fields of cardiopulmonary resuscitation are investigated. Some relevant informations are included in the last international guidelines published in 2000, but most of them need complementary studies before other changes could be recommended for routine practice.
