The 1998 European Resuscitation Council guidelines for adult single rescuer basic life support

An error occurred in these guidelines by the Basic Life Support Working Group of the European Resuscitation Council (20 June, pp 1870-6). On p 1874 the paragraph before the heading “When to get help” should have read: “Finally, it must be emphasised that in spite of possible problems during training and in use, there is no doubt that placing an unconscious, breathing [not: non-breathing] victim into the recovery position can be life saving.”
