Effects of prehospital advanced airway management on cardiac arrest patients who underwent extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

ABSTRACT: The effect of prehospital advanced airway management (AAM) in patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest requiring extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation remains unclear. In this retrospective study, we analysed data from the Study of Advanced Cardiac Life Support for Ventricular Fibrillation with Extracorporeal Circulation in Japan II, encompassing 36 institutions in Japan (2013-2018). Patients were divided into two groups: those who received prehospital AAM and those who did not. The primary outcome was a favourable neurological outcome at discharge, and secondary outcomes included 30-day survival, estimated low-flow time, duration of mechanical ventilation, and length of stay in the intensive care unit. A generalised estimating equation model adjusted for prehospital confounders
