Cardiac arrest is common and deadly, affecting up to 700000 people in the United States annually. Advanced cardiac life support measures are commonly used to improve outcomes. This “2023 American Heart Association Focused Update on Adult Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support” summarizes the most recent published evidence for and recommendations on the use of medications, temperature management, percutaneous coronary angiography, extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and seizure management in this population. We discuss the lack of data in recent cardiac arrest literature that limits our ability to evaluate diversity, equity, and inclusion in this population. Last, we consider how the cardiac arrest population may make up an important pool of organ donors for those awaiting organ transplantation.

心脏骤停是一种常见且致命的疾病，在美国每年有高达70万人受累。通常使用先进的心脏生命支持措施来改善结局。“2023年美国心脏协会成人高级心血管生命支持的重点更新”总结了药物使用、温度管理、经皮冠状动脉造影、体外心肺复苏和癫痫发作管理的最新发表证据和建议。我们讨论了最近心脏骤停文献中缺乏的数据，限制了我们评价该人群多样性、公平性和入选的能力。最后，我们考虑了心脏骤停人群如何构成等待器官移植者的重要器官供体库。
