Observational Study
Association between prehospital airway type and oxygenation and ventilation in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.
American Journal of Emergency Medicine 2023 March
OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to evaluate the association between prehospital airway type and oxygenation and ventilation in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA).
METHODS: This retrospective observational study included OHCA patients who visited the emergency departments (EDs) between October 2015 and June 2021. The study groups were categorized according to the prehospital airway type: endotracheal intubation (ETI), supraglottic airway (SGA), or bag-valve-mask ventilation (BVM). The primary outcome was good oxygenation: partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) ≥ 60 mmHg on the first arterial blood gas (ABG) test. The secondary outcome was good ventilation: partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2) ≤ 45 mmHg. Multivariate logistic regression was conducted to calculate the adjusted odds ratio (AOR) and 95% confidence interval (CI).
RESULTS: A total of 7,372 patients were enrolled during the study period: 1,819 patients treated with BVM, 706 with ETI, and 4,847 who underwent SGA. In multivariable logistic regression analysis for good oxygenation outcomes, the ETI group showed a higher AOR than the BVM group (AOR [95% CIs]: 1.30 [1.06-1.59] in ETI and 1.05 [0.93-1.20] in SGA groups). Regarding good ventilation, the ETI group showed a higher AOR, and the SGA group showed a lower AOR compared to the BVM group (AOR [95% CIs] 1.33 [1.02-1.74] in the ETI and 0.83 (0.70-0.99) in the SGA groups). There was no significant difference in survival to discharge.
CONCLUSIONS: ETI was significantly associated with good oxygenation and good ventilation compared to BVM in patients with OHCA, particularly during longer transports. This should be taken into consideration when deciding the prehospital advanced airway management in patients with OHCA.
