This is the annual summary of the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation Consensus on Science With Treatment Recommendations; a comprehensive review was completed in 2025. This latest summary addresses the most recent published resuscitation evidence reviewed by International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation task forces, including Basic Life Support; Advanced Life Support; Pediatric Life Support; Neonatal Life Support; Education, Implementation, and Teams; and First Aid. Members from these 6 task forces assessed the certainty of the evidence using Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation criteria, and their statements include consensus treatment recommendations. Highlights from task force discussions and insights into how decisions regarding treatment recommendations were made are provided in the Justification and Evidence-to-Decision Framework Highlights sections. The task forces also listed priority knowledge gaps for further research.
