The European Resuscitation Council (ERC) Congress – Resuscitation 2024 took place from 31 October to 2 November 2024 at the prestigious Megaron Athens International Conference Centre in Athens, Greece. The event welcomed over 1,000 participants, including experts, physicians, paramedics, and leading researchers, for a comprehensive exploration of advances in resuscitation science and practice.

This year’s congress offered a dynamic mix of activities, including presentations of the latest scientific research, updates on resuscitation guidelines, and demonstrations of cutting-edge medical technologies. Attendees participated in hands-on training sessions, innovative simulations, and engaging resuscitation competitions, all designed to enhance lifesaving skills and understanding.

Key highlights included sessions on the integration of virtual reality (VR) and artificial intelligence (AI) into resuscitation and first aid practices. Discussions also focused on the evolution of upcoming international recommendations in areas such as basic and advanced resuscitation, paediatric resuscitation, and training methodologies.

Participants had the opportunity to explore state-of-the-art resuscitation tools, such as:
  • Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs)
  • Multiparametric monitoring devices
  • Intelligent CPR manikins with real-time feedback systems

These innovations, presented by leading medical technology companies, demonstrated how technology continues to revolutionize emergency care.

Beyond the technical sessions, the congress emphasized the importance of collaboration and education. Professionals from diverse backgrounds and regions came together to network, exchange ideas, and align on best practices in resuscitation.

The ERC Congress 2024 proved to be an inspiring and invaluable gathering, showcasing not only technological advancements but also the critical importance of skills development in saving lives. As the field of resuscitation continues to evolve, such events reaffirm the commitment of the global community to improving outcomes and saving lives.
