Pragmatic Trial of Airway Management in Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Endotracheal Intubation and Laryngeal Tube (King) for Cardiac Arrest. Completed, enrolled 3,004 participants across 6 sites.
Detailed Summary
The primary objective of the trial is to determine if 72-hour survival after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is improved with initial endotracheal intubation (ETI) over initial laryngeal tube (LT) airway management strategies.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
In this traditional model of OHCA airway management, advanced-level Emergency Medical Services (EMS) personnel will use ETI as the primary (initial) airway management intervention. If the EMS agency is assigned to this arm, basic-level EMS personnel will use bag-valve-mask ventilation only even if they would normally use an LT.
In this test model of OHCA airway management, advanced-level Emergency Medical Services (EMS) personnel will use LT as the primary (initial) airway management intervention. Basic-level EMS personnel will use bag-valve-mask ventilation. If trained to use LT, basic-level EMS personnel may perform LT insertion.
