However, 2021 guidelines limited indications in diagnosing only cardiac causes, such as tamponade or pneumothorax. The guidelines also reflect the increasing evidence for extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation as a rescue therapy for selected patients with cardiac arrest when conventional advanced life support measures are failing or to facilitate specific interventions. Additionally, newest guidelines made significant changes in the order of steps used in the In/hospital resuscitation algorithm, as well as changes in several very important steps of treating tachycardias and high heart rate associated arrhythmias.Nikolovski SrđanČizmović LovćenkaSerbian Resuscitation Council, Novi Sadarticleguidelines 2021advanced life supportadrenalinepocusDiseases of the circulatory (Cardiovascular) systemRC666-701ENSRJournal Resuscitatio Balcanica, Vol 7, Iss 18, Pp 298-303 (2021)
