Resuscitation (journal) is a peer-reviewed medical journal focusing on cardiopulmonary resuscitation, emergency cardiovascular care, advanced life support, and related acute care. The journal publishes original research, reviews, consensus statements, and guidelines relevant to practitioners and researchers in intensive care, emergency medicine, anesthesiology, cardiology, and prehospital care. It serves as a venue for clinical trials, epidemiological studies, systematic reviews, and translational research impacting international organizations and academic institutions.
The journal was established amid rising global interest in cardiopulmonary resuscitation and emergency care during the 1960s and 1970s that involved pioneers associated with institutions such as Johns Hopkins Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Mayo Clinic, Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh, Guy's Hospital, and Massachusetts General Hospital. Early decades saw collaborations with professional societies including the American Heart Association, European Resuscitation Council, International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation, and national bodies from countries such as United Kingdom, United States, Canada, Australia, and Sweden. Key developments in prehospital care, defibrillation, and airway management reported in the journal paralleled milestones like the introduction of the automated external defibrillator championed by manufacturers and advocates linked to centers such as St. Thomas' Hospital and Karolinska Institutet. Over time, editorial stewardship connected Resuscitation with academic networks spanning University of Oxford, University of Cambridge, Imperial College London, Stanford University, Columbia University, University of Toronto, and Uppsala University.
Resuscitation covers a breadth of topics intersecting with specialty centers and professional organizations such as Intensive Care Society, European Society of Intensive Care Medicine, Royal College of Anaesthetists, American College of Cardiology, Society of Critical Care Medicine, World Health Organization, and Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation funded initiatives. Typical subject areas include clinical trials of defibrillation devices used in settings from Helsinki University Hospital to Netherlands Heart Institute, guidelines for cardiopulmonary resuscitation influenced by consensus documents from International Committee of the Red Cross, observational studies from emergency medical services like London Ambulance Service and New York City EMS, and translational research involving molecular cardiology groups at Cleveland Clinic and Vanderbilt University Medical Center. The journal also addresses post-resuscitation care, therapeutic hypothermia protocols validated at Rigshospitalet, neurological outcome scales developed at University College London, and ethical issues debated at institutions such as Yale University and University of Chicago.
Resuscitation is published by Elsevier, operating within global publishing networks that include collaborations with academic publishers and societies such as Wiley-Blackwell and Springer Nature affiliates. The editorial board has historically drawn editors and associate editors affiliated with leading centers like Royal Brompton Hospital, Addenbrooke's Hospital, John Radcliffe Hospital, Mount Sinai Hospital (Toronto), Texas Medical Center, and Monash University. Editorial policies and peer review processes reflect standards championed by entities such as Committee on Publication Ethics and institutional review boards at universities including University of Melbourne and McGill University. Guest editors and guideline authors have included researchers with ties to University of Pennsylvania, Duke University, University of Sydney, and National University of Singapore.
The journal is indexed in major bibliographic databases and citation indices administered by organizations and services including PubMed Central policies aligned with National Institutes of Health, indexing in Scopus managed by Elsevier analytics, inclusion in Web of Science curated by Clarivate Analytics, and entries in specialist databases tied to Cochrane Library and Embase. Resuscitation’s metadata and abstracts are discoverable through institutional repositories at British Library, digital libraries associated with National Library of Medicine, and catalogues coordinated with WorldCat member institutions.
The journal has influenced guideline formation, clinical practice, and policy discussions among stakeholders such as the European Parliament health committees, national health services like the National Health Service (England), academic consortia at Wellcome Trust–funded centers, and professional meetings including the European Resuscitation Congress and American Heart Association Scientific Sessions. High-citation articles have shaped protocols adopted by emergency medical services in metropolitan centers such as Los Angeles County+USC Medical Center and regional networks in Ontario and Scotland. Resuscitation is recognized in rankings and bibliometrics compiled by institutions like University College London, Karolinska Institutet, and Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.
Notable publications include randomized trials of cardiopulmonary techniques involving collaborators from University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, guideline consensus statements authored with representation from European Resuscitation Council and American Heart Association, systematic reviews registered with PROSPERO and coordinated through networks like Global Resuscitation Alliance. Influential methodological papers and landmark observational cohorts originated from research groups at Seoul National University Hospital, Oslo University Hospital, St. Michael's Hospital (Toronto), Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin, and Sahlgrenska University Hospital. These works have been cited in position statements by bodies including World Health Organization emergency care initiatives and in curricular reforms at medical schools such as UCLA David Geffen School of Medicine and Johns Hopkins School of Medicine.
