Multicenter Study Observational Study
Airway management during in hospital cardiac arrest: An international, multicentre, retrospective, observational cohort study.
To determine the type of airway devices used during in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) resuscitation attempts. ⋯ There is wide variation in airway device use during resuscitation after IHCA. Only half of patients are intubated before return of spontaneous circulation and many are managed without an advanced airway. Further investigation is needed to determine optimal airway device management strategies during resuscitation following IHCA.
