Resuscitation

Recognised by the European Resuscitation Council as its official Journal.

Resuscitation is an interdisciplinary journal for the dissemination of clinical and basic science research relating to acute care medicine and cardiopulmonary resuscitation. It is especially of interest to healthcare professionals working in critical care, emergency medicine, acute medicine, anaesthesia, cardiology, paediatrics, and neonatology. Resuscitation is a monthly journal, publishing papers dealing with the aetiology, pathophysiology and prevention of cardiac arrest, resuscitation training, clinical resuscitation, and rapid response systems. Experimental resuscitation research papers (including animal studies) are published occasionally, but only if they are of exceptional interest and related directly to clinical cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Papers relating to trauma are published occasionally but the majority of these concern specifically traumatic cardiac arrest.

Research papers, review articles and letters to the editor are welcome. Resuscitation does not publish case reports or papers unrelated to cardiac arrest.

The journal's open access companion title, Resuscitation Plus, welcomes a range of manuscripts, including animal studies, systematic, narrative and scoping reviews, case reports and methods papers relating to cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
