Resuscitation Center: An Effective Way for Hospitals to Gain High-quality Development

In 2018, the concept of "resuscitation center" was officially introduced in China. The "resuscitation center" refers to a special system established by medical institutions for cardiac arrest patients, which covers the entire process from prevention to emergency care, monitoring, treatment, and rehabilitation of cardiac arrest. Integrating various medical resources and optimizing the whole process helps provide high-quality care for patients, with the best possible resuscitation outcome. The construction of the resuscitation center is an indispensable need for high-quality emergency medical services, an important initiative for hospitals to promote multidisciplinary development, especially emergency medicine, and an important grasp for hospitals to improve their management capabilities. It aims to deepen and upgrade the traditional emergency medical system, and explore higher quality treatment models and processes for the most urgent emergencies. The construction of a resuscitation center first requires a consensus and active voice from the emergency medicine community before it gradually expands from a regional pilot to a nationwide program with the support of the health administration.
