Summary

International recommendations stress on the importance of no flow time reduction in cardiac arrest management. In fact, no flow time is an independent factor of morbidity and mortality.

In France, cardiac arrests are treated by first responders (including emergency nurses) before the arrival of a mobile intensive care unit. Those first responders use bag-valve-mask for ventilation and therefore practice conventional CPR (30 chest compression / 2 ventilation rhythm). Laryngeal tube is a safe and efficient device in cardiac arrest ventilation. The purpose of our study is to compare the no flow time between two strategies of out of hospital cardiac arrest management by first responders: conventional CPR with bag-valve-mask ventilation vs. compression only CPR with Laryngeal Tube ventilation.
