Association between endotracheal intubation and outcomes of nonshockable out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in Japan
In this Japanese nationwide Utstein registry cohort study with IPTW adjustment, for adult witnessed OHCA patients with initial nonshockable rhythm, prehospital ETI was associated with significantly higher rates of ROSC and 1-month survival, compared to prehospital SGA. These findings suggest that ETI, when performed by EMS personnel, has the potential to improve outcomes in these patients with OHCA.
