It ’s About Paramedic Intubation Skill Maintenance, Not ETI vs. SGA

In this study, for all-comers, that was an abysmal 6%. This is an important number because it tells us that overall, successful resuscitation from cardiac arrest is rare and that a number of our efforts may have some statistically significant differences but the absolute effect on the gold standard outcome is rather small. But that's a story for another time. The focus here is on airway management in cardiac arrest, and the suggestion that the "verdict is out" on whether or not paramedics should be using an endotracheal tube or a supraglottic device.
