TL;DR: The PTL, LM, and Combi appear to offer substantial advances over the OA/BVM system and the Combitube was associated with the least problems with ventilation and was the most preferred by a majority of EMAs.
220 citations
TL;DR: A higher incidence of difficult and failed laryngoscopy, DAM, and high laryngeal grade views when patients were managed in a prehospital setting by anaesthesia trained physicians is demonstrated.

TL;DR: In this study characterizing out-of-hospital airway management across the United States, low out- of-hospital ETI success rates are observed, which may guide national efforts to improve the quality of out-Of-hospitalAirway management.

TL;DR: In this secondary analysis of data from the multicenter ROC PRIMED trial, ETI was associated with improved outcomes over SGA insertion after OHCA, and was not associated with secondary airway or pulmonary complications.

TL;DR: It is shown that manikin performance for supraglottic airway device insertion is unequal, which has implications for selecting manikins for suPRagLotticAirway device training and forManikin studies assessing performance of supragelled airway devices.
Abstract: We evaluated the performance of four currently available manikins: Airway Management Trainer (Ambu, UK), Airway Trainer (Laerdal, Norway), Airsim (Trucorp, Ireland), 'Bill 1' (VBM, Germany), with eight supraglottic airway devices: Airway Management Device, Cobra Perilaryngeal Airway, Combitube, i-Gel, Laryngeal Tube, Laryngeal Tube Disposable, Laryngeal Tube Suction II and Streamlined Liner of the Pharynx Airway. Ten anaesthetists inserted each supraglottic airway device twice into each manikin. Each insertion was scored and ranked. Manikin score and rank data showed statistically significant overall performance differences. Post hoc analysis showed the Trucorp manikin performed best, followed by the Laerdal manikin. No one manikin performed best for all individual supraglottic airway devices. The Trucorp manikin performed adequately for all supraglottic airway devices. Comparing supraglottic airway devices, i-Gel insertion was significantly the easiest. Our results show that manikin performance for supraglottic airway device insertion is unequal, which has implications for selecting manikins for supraglottic airway device training and for manikin studies assessing performance of supraglottic airway devices.
