Description

Tae-Youn Kim and a large guideline panel present part five of the 2025 Korean resuscitation guidelines, published in 2026. The section covers cardiac arrest in special circumstances, where standard algorithms may need adjusting. Each recommendation is graded for strength and for certainty of the supporting evidence.

For arrest from high blood potassium, insulin with glucose is suggested, while routine bicarbonate or calcium lacks support either way. Clot-busting treatment may be considered when a lung clot is suspected or confirmed. Naloxone is not advised routinely for opioid-related arrest once full life support is under way. The section also covers prone patients, drowning, severe hypothermia, pregnancy, and anaphylaxis.
