- Abstract
The article reports on a study that was conducted to investigate the association of pre-hospital advanced airway management with favorable outcome and survival in adult with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). The study involved 649,654 adult patients in Japan with an OHCA, of which 367,837 underwent bagvalve-mask ventilation and 281,522 advanced airway management. It found that the advanced airway group incurred a lower rate of favorable neurological outcome compared with the bag-valve-mask group. The study concludes that advanced airway management is independently associated with decreased odds of neurologically favorable survival.
