Findings of game-changing EMS airway study to be presented at SAEM18

(Society for Academic Emergency Medicine) Endotracheal intubation (ETI) is the most common advanced airway technique used in the resuscitation of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA), but Supraglottic airway devices such as the King Laryngeal Tube (LT) offer simpler airway management alternatives. A Plenary Session to be held May 16, on opening day of SAEM18 in Indianapolis, will present the findings of a multicenter, pragmatic clinical trial comparing the effectiveness of initial LT insertion versus initial ETI upon outcomes in adult OHCA.
