Prehospital Laryngeal Tube vs. Bag-Valve Mask Ventilation Used by Paramedics During CPR

NCT01718795 · Status: TERMINATED · Phase: PHASE4 · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 78

Last updated 2016-03-24

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

During CPR bag-valve mask ventilation is difficult for basically skilled rescuers. Ventilation may be inefficient or with too high pressures result in stomach inflation and aspiration. Studies suggest that with a supraglottic airway device, such as the laryngeal tube, a basically skilled rescuer may ventilate more efficient and also safer. No prehospital study has been conducted comparing laryngeal tube and bag-valve mask ventilation during CPR. Thus, this study intends to compare ventilation with laryngeal tube and bag-valve mask performed by paramedics during CPR.
