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.
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 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: Preliminary investigations during CPR in 21 arrest patients indicate that the esophageal tracheal combitube is as effective as the ETA, and blood gas measurements showed a significantly higher mean arterial oxygen tension during ventilation with the ETC.
TL;DR: The Combitube appears to be the most appropriate choice among the airway devices examined, however, serious injuries to the tissues, though they rarely occurred in the study, remain a major concern.
