A retrospective comparison of the King Laryngeal Tube and iGel supraglottic airway devices: A study for the CARES surveillance group.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Supraglottic airway devices are increasingly used during the resuscitation of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients in the United States and worldwide. In this study, we aimed to compare the neurologic outcomes of OHCA patients managed with the King Laryngeal Tube (King LT) to the neurologic outcomes of patients managed with the iGel.

Methods

We used the Cardiac Arrest Registry to Enhance Survival (CARES) public use research dataset for our analysis. Non-traumatic OHCA cases with attempted EMS resuscitation enrolled from 2013-2021 were included. We used two-level mixed effects multivariable logistic regression analyses with treating EMS agency as the random effect to determine the association between supraglottic airway device and outcome. The primary outc
