Discussion
From this large prospective population-based registry of
OHCA, we investigated not only the difference in outcomes
between ETI and SGA airway devices but also
the time-dependent effectiveness of airway management
for non-traumatic OHCA. The device used was not a
significant predictor for favorable neurological outcome
after OHCA. The results do suggest that rapid advanced
airway insertion-regardless of device and rhythm-and
ETI certification for ELSTs contribute to improved outcomes
after OHCA.
