Podcast #383: Prehospital Tubes

Author: Sam Killian, MD

Educational Pearls:

Two high quality randomized control trials published in 2018 demonstrated no difference in mortality or neurologic outcomes when using a supraglottic airway compared to endotracheal intubation in out of hospital cardiac arrest

These two trials enrolled over a combined 12000 patients

Supraglottic airways have a higher success rate than intubations
