Effect of Placement of a Supraglottic Airway Device vs Endotracheal Intubation on Return of Spontaneous Circulation in Adults With Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest in Taipei, Taiwan: A Cluster Randomized Clinical Trial.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Prehospital advanced airway management with either initial endotracheal intubation (ETI) or initial supraglottic airway (SGA) insertion in patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) remains controversial.

Objective

To compare the effectiveness of ETI and SGA in patients with nontraumatic OHCA.

Design, setting, and participants

The Supraglottic Airway Device vs Endotracheal intubation (SAVE) trial was a multicenter cluster randomized clinical trial conducted in Taipei City, Taiwan. Individuals aged 20 years or older who experienced nontraumatic OHCA requiring advanced airway management and were treated by participating emergency medical service agencies were enrolled from November 11, 2016, to December 31, 2019.
