RCUK are deeply concerned by Public Health England (PHE)’s continued insistence on designating chest compressions as non Aerosol Generating Procedures (AGPs). Read our latest statement (published 20 April 2020):

@ResusCouncilUK As a CFR with level 2 PPE this is very much of interest.

@ResusCouncilUK @BethRigby thank you for your question. Our Guidance has been based on WHO guidance throughout. We first published on 4 March and have been consistent throughout.

@ResusCouncilUK @apnoeaboy Given the generally poor outcomes from out of hospital cardiac arrest added to the very poor outcomes from Covid-19 requiring critical care, then 'safe approach' is the single most important consideration. In-hospital CPR for Covid is probably futile.

@ResusCouncilUK Im concerned that the 2 most respected providers for emergency care cant agree a common stance. We are im the midst of a world health crisis and @PHE_uk and @ResusCouncilUK are causing huge amounts of angst for frontline staff. This needs sorting ASAP

@ResusCouncilUK @WaimeaUK Common sense & for those of us having to treat patients, we are very grateful for your support @ResusCouncilUK . Disappointingly @PHE_uk does not appear to hold #NHSworkers health as such a priority

@ResusCouncilUK It would be really helpful if you published your literature review @DrJamesCant . The statement only points to more guidance, not evidence. Thank you.

@ResusCouncilUK @EilidhPinkChic How bizarre. Anyone who has done CPR knows it is aerosol generating. I have respect for the WHO and we need them just now more than ever, but they have also changed their advice for routine mask wearing. The world is watching and needs accurate information.

@ResusCouncilUK @NMPGCU Just give the decision makers from @PHE_uk a day on the front line and perform the task, to then decide whether they would still take the risk without the appropriate PPE...or call it low risk to deflect from the lack of provision of adequate supply of PPE
