Airway management by ambulance nurses during out-of-hospital cardiac arrest
During cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) by ambulance nurses, the use of SADs increased, and that of ETTs decreased. Although ETT first pass success improved, it was lower than the guideline-recommended standard for performing intubations prehospitally. First pass success for SAD was high. This adds support for current Dutch ambulance guidelines recommending an SAD for primary choice of advanced airway by EMS during CPR. However, improvement of intubation techniques and skills remain a necessity for selected OHCA patients.
