Who is the Australian Resuscitation Council?
The Australian Resuscitation Council is a voluntary coordinating body which represents all major groups involved in the teaching and practice of resuscitation. It is sponsored by the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons and the Australian and New Zealand College of Anesthetists. The Australian Resuscitation Council produces Policy Statements to meet its objectives in fostering uniformity and simplicity in resuscitation techniques and terminology. Policies are produced after consideration of all available scientific and published material and are only issued after acceptance by all member organisations. This does not imply, however, that methods other then those recommended are ineffective.
