Association between Early Airway Intervention in the Pre-Hospital setting and Outcomes in Out of Hospital Cardiac Arrest Patients: a post-hoc analysis of the Target Temperature Management-2 (TTM2) trial

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.
