I suspect a build on of the 2005 changes rather than any radical revisions, but I could be wrong. I expect that therapeutic hypothermia for patients with ROSC will be emphasized. From what I've heard the autopulse and similar devices don't improve survival. Patients requiring prolonged CPR with any underlying rhythm don't seem to do well. Oxygen will be de-emphasized in ACS and especially stroke. ITDs will also fall out of favor. Good CPR along with early defibrillation will continue to be optimal care. Amiodarone will drop down on the list of preferred meds. The next ACLS revisions will be very interesting.
