Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The primary objective of the trial is to determine if 72-hour survival after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is improved with initial endotracheal intubation (ETI) over initial laryngeal tube (LT) airway management strategies.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The primary objective of the trial is to determine if 72-hour survival after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is improved with initial endotracheal intubation (ETI) over initial laryngeal tube (LT) airway management strategies.

The null hypothesis is that 72-hour survival is similar between primary Laryngeal Tube (LT) SGA and primary ETI airway management strategies.

Evaluated secondary outcomes will include return of spontaneous circulation, survival to hospital discharge, neurologically intact survival at hospital discharge, airway management performance, and clinical adverse events.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Endotracheal Intubation

The insertion of a plastic breathing tube through the mouth and into the trachea.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Endotracheal Intubation

Intervention Type DEVICE

In this traditional model of OHCA airway management, advanced-level Emergency Medical Services (EMS) personnel will use ETI as the primary (initial) airway management intervention. If the EMS agency is assigned to this arm, basic-level EMS personnel will use bag-valve-mask ventilation only even if they would normally use an LT.

Laryngeal Tube (King)

Insertion of a supraglottic airway (SGA)

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Laryngeal Tube (King)

Intervention Type DEVICE

In this test model of OHCA airway management, advanced-level Emergency Medical Services (EMS) personnel will use LT as the primary (initial) airway management intervention. Basic-level EMS personnel will use bag-valve-mask ventilation. If trained to use LT, basic-level EMS personnel may perform LT insertion.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA)
* Adult (age ≥18 years or per local interpretation)

* Major facial trauma (visible major deformity, copious oral bleeding, etc)
* Major bleeding or exsanguination (e.g., major upper or lower GI bleed, visceral perforation, major uncontrolled bleeding from laceration or injury)
* Patient receiving initial care by a non-PART participating EMS agency capable of performing ETI, LT, or other advanced airway management
* Patients with ET tube, LT or other advanced airway device inserted prior to participating EMS agency arrival (e.g., inserted by healthcare facility personnel)
* Patients with a pre-existing tracheostomy
* Obvious asphyxial cardiac arrest (e.g., choking, foreign body aspiration, angioedema, epiglottitis, trauma to mouth and face, etc.)
* Patients with a left ventricular assist device (LVAD) or total artificial heart (TAH)
* Patients with pre-existing written "do-not-attempt-resuscitation" (DNAR) orders
* Inter-facility transports
* Patients with a "do not enroll" bracelet
