The CPR National Plan of the Spanish Society of Intensive, Critical and Coronary Unit Medicine (SEMICYUC), in collaboration with the Spanish Society of Intensive Nursing and Coronary Units (SEEIUC) has elaborated these recommendations in order to contribute towards decreasing mortality, sequels and costs arising from hospital heart arrests. In them, the guidelines made by the International Scientific Societies, specifically by the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR), is collected. This practically groups all the organizations dedicated to worldwide resuscitation, including the European Resuscitation Council (ERC), which is the organization that adapts these recommendations to our setting and they are the ones on which the National Plan of CPR of the SEMICYUC are based. Furthermore, the line marked in some recent recommendations by the Resuscitation Council of the United Kingdom has been followed in its elaboration.
