Latin American Council for Resuscitation in Special Situations
Connecting professionals, questions and projects to develop knowledge relevant to Latin America.
Purpose and goals
What we do as a Council
Our goal is to promote a better prepared, coordinated and context-appropriate response to cardiac arrest in special situations through multidisciplinary collaboration, education and research.
Develop knowledge
Promote research questions, educational projects, publications and improvement proposals with scientific review.
Support academic quality
Establish transparent criteria and assess specific proposals through qualified reviewers without relevant conflicts of interest.
The Council guides and supports academic work. It does not replace professional regulation or grant blanket endorsement to REASEL. These goals describe its intended work; each project and endorsement must be documented separately.
