Abstract [en]
Introduction: Airway management is a critical component of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) resuscitation. The primary aim of this study was to describe pre-hospital airway management in adult patients post-OHCA. Secondary aims were to investigate whether tracheal intubation (TI) versus use of supraglottic airway device (SGA) was associated with patients' outcomes, including ventilator-free days within 26 days of randomization, 6 months neurological outcome and mortality. Methods: Secondary analysis of the Target Temperature Management-2 (TTM2) trial conducted in 13 countries, including adult patients with OHCA and return of spontaneous circulation, with data available on pre-hospital airway management. A multivariate logistic regression model with backward stepwise selection was employed to assess whether TI versus SGA was associated with outcomes. Results: Of the 1900 TTM2 trial patients, 1702 patients (89.5%) were included, with a mean age of 64 years (Standard Deviation, SD = 13.53); 79.1% were males. Pre-hospital airway management was SGA in 484 (28.4%), and TI in 1218 (71.6%) patients. At hospital admission, 87.8% of patients with SGA and 98.5% with TI were mechanically ventilated (p < 0.001). In the multivariate analysis, TI in comparison with SGA was not independently associated with an increase in ventilator-free days within 26 days of randomization, improved neurological outcomes, or decreased mortality. The hazard ratio for mortality with TI vs. SGA was 1.06, 95%Confidence Interval (CI) 0.88-1.28, p = 0.54. Conclusions: In the multicentre randomized TTM2-trial including patients with OHCA, most patients received prehospital endotracheal intubation to manage their airway. The choice of pre-hospital airway device was not independently associated with patient clinical outcomes.
