5 Years<br />
Scientists and physicians from the International Liaison<br />
Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR) continuously evaluate<br />
current and new evidence about resuscitation. Every 5 years,<br />
ILCOR holds an International Consensus Conference, during<br />
which these scientists and physicians discuss and debate and then<br />
come to a consensus about the best ways to apply the science in<br />
resuscitation. This is documented in the ILCOR International<br />
Consensus on CPR and ECC Science With Treatment<br />
Recommendations.<br />
The AHA is a member council of ILCOR, and the AHA<br />
<strong>Guide</strong>lines are written on the basis of the ILCOR consensus.<br />

This process allows the AHA to incorporate the most current<br />
science into its materials, so that faculty, instructors, and students<br />
have up-to-date information on the best practices.<br />
