[Supraglottic airway devices and intraosseous access in the treatment of patients after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest : Do we use the wrong tool too often?]
Medizinische Klinik, Intensivmedizin und Notfallmedizin 2018 October 24
INTRODUCTION: Only a little is known about the frequency of use of supraglottic airway devices (SADs) and intraosseous (IO) access in patients who have had out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA).
MATERIALS AND METHODS: We analyzed data from all patients who had had OHCA admitted to our hospital between 1 January 2008 and 31 December 2017.
RESULTS: A total of 135 (33.8%) patients who had had OHCA were admitted with a SAD, 223 (55.8%) with an endotracheal tube, 3 (0.8%) with mask ventilation, and 32 (8.0%) breathed spontaneously on admission to hospital. Three hundred and twenty-eight patients (82.0%) were admitted with a peripheral intravenous line, one (0.3%) with a central venous catheter, one (0.3%) with a port catheter, and 32 (8.0%) with IO access.
CONCLUSIONS: Irrespective of an increasing number of studies that raise the question whether the airway management of patients who have had OHCA using an SGA might be inferior to that with endotracheal tubes, approximately one third of all patients who have had OHCA were admitted with an SAD in this study. On the other hand, IO access is significantly less frequently used, despite fewer critical study results overall.
