The BVM Effect: An Overview of Studies Assessing Airway Management in Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest
Evolving CPR guidelines follow the growing understanding of the physiology surrounding cardiac arrest. For example, it’s been shown that the maintenance of high-quality chest compressions with minimal interruptions is a cornerstone of providing adequate CPR.1 However, the role of airway and ventilation management during CPR remains less well understood.
Although the safest and most effective airway management for the patient in cardiac arrest still remains to be ascertained, the initial approach in airway management in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA), however, is typically the application of the bag-valve mask...

Randomized Trials of Prehospital Endotracheal Intubation in Cardiac Arrest
Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is a major public health problem affecting over 300,000 persons annually in the United States.1 Endotracheal intubation (ETI) is one of most common procedures performed by paramedics during resuscitation. However, numerous factors have motivated new strategies for OHCA airway management, including the use of supraglottic airway (SGA) devices. Scientists in the U.S. and the United Kingdom are preparing to carry out largescale randomized controlled trials (RCT) to compare the effectiveness of ETI and SGA on OHCA outcomes. In this article we provide an overview of the rationale for a...
