The purpose of the current study was
to examine whether CPR
with any type
of out-of-hospital
advanced airway
management by EMS personnel,
compared with CPR
with conventional bagvalve-
mask ventilation,
would be associated
with favorable neurological outcome in adult OHCA.
In addition, we postulated that both advanced airway
techniques (endotracheal intubation
or use of supraglottic airways)
would be similarly associated
with favorable neurological outcome after
OHCA.
