Recommendations
As issued by the authors
Successful prevention and management of cardiac arrest during anaesthesia and surgery requires anticipation, early recognition and a clear treatment plan
Ready availability of expert staff and equipment must be taken into consideration
Success depends on medical knowledge, technical skills, a well organised team using crew resource management and an institutional safety culture through continuous education, training and multidisciplinary co-operation
