Compare Outcomes of CPR Between the Video-laryngoscopy (VL) Users and the Direct-laryngoscopy (DL) Users

This is a clinical study based on the analysis of video-clip data of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and clinical data for out of hospital cardiac arrest patients between 2011 and 2015. Aim of study is to compare the endotracheal intubation performance and CPR outcomes between videolaryngoscopy (VL) and direct laryngoscopy (DL) users.

About this study

Endotracheal intubation (ETI) has been considered to be the best method of airway management during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). However ETI during CPR is a highly skill-dependent procedure, then it should be attempted only highly trained physicians. Because of technical difficulty in using direct laryngoscopy (DL), various types of videolaryngoscopy (VL) devices using micro-camera technology have been designed to overcome the problems of DL.

This study tried to compare the recovery of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) and survival discharge between use of standard device (DL) and VL in a real clinical setting. In addition, this study also compare the first pass success rate of ETI,speed of ETI, incidences of complications, and chest compression interruptions during cardiopulmonary resuscitation between both device users.

Inclusion criteria

  • Patients who suffer sudden out-of hospital cardiac arrest

Exclusion criteria

  • Cardiac arrests from multiple trauma
  • Cases of requesting the do-not attempt resuscitation before ETI
  • Intubated cases before arrival to emergency department

Treatment and study plan

Endotracheal Intubation

Procedure

Insertion of endotracheal tube into the trachea and supply oxygen using the Ambu-bagging during cardiopulmonary resuscitation

Primary outcomes

  1. Survival with good neurologic outcome

    Time frame: 6 months after emergency department visit

    Survived patients who were conscious and able to perform independent activities of daily life (CPC1 or CPC2)

Secondary outcomes

  1. ROSC

    Time frame: within 1 hour after emergency department visit

    Recovery of spontaneous circulation by successful resuscitation

  2. total time to complete ETI from the beginning

    Time frame: within 1 hour after emergency department visit

    time from the advancement of the blade into the patient's mouth to the delivery of the first successful ventilation using the bag

  3. complication

    Time frame: within 1 hour after emergency department visit

    Presence of chest compression interruption, esophageal intubation and dental injuries
