INSIGHT

Intubation Benefits in Prolonged Arrest

  • Endotracheal intubation during prolonged cardiac arrest improves oxygenation and ventilation compared to supraglottic airways.
  • This leads to a higher chance of eligibility for ECMO and better neurologically favorable survival.
INSIGHT

Ongoing Ventilation Impact in Arrest

  • Late airway management during prolonged arrests can impact physiological outcomes and survival.
  • Adequate ventilation effects are often unseen but critical in ongoing resuscitations.
ADVICE

Tailor Airway Strategy Thoughtfully

  • Consider prioritizing endotracheal intubation in refractory cardiac arrest patients eligible for eCPR.
  • Tailor airway management approaches based on patient condition and resource availability.
