Abstract

Sir, We appreciate the concerns raised by Pahade et al. about the Indian Resuscitation Council (IRC) cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) guidelines, their critical analysis of the guidelines and the suggestions for implementation. No guideline can be suited to all and the same applies to the ACC/AHA guidelines in India. [...]there are cost implications in conducting some of the internationally available CPR courses. [...]we have added the layer of COLS for laypersons who are unlikely to have access to AEDs and who will call for help and provide effective chest compressions, until personnel trained in Basic Cardiopulmonary Life Support (BCLS) arrive.
