ABSTRACT
Background:
In Japan, there are no studies comparing endotracheal intubation performed by emergency medical technicians (EMTs) during out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) using a Macintosh laryngoscope and a video laryngoscope.Objective:
The purpose of this study was to compare the success rate, complication rate, return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC), neurological prognosis (CPC1-2) and regional differences between Video laryngoscope (VL) and Macintosh laryngoscope (ML) for OHCA patients.Method:
This study is a retrospective cohort study using 10,067 OHCA data extracted from the national Utstein Form and emergency medical transport data. The primary endpoint was the success rate of tracheal intubation and the complication rate and the secondary endpoints were the incidence of ROSC and CPC1-2.Results:
A total of 885 tracheal Intubated OHCA patients were enrolled in this study. The success rate was 94.1% (490/521) in the VL group and 89.3% (325/364) in the ML group (RR, 1.05; 95%CI, 1.01-1.10, P = 0.01), the VL group shows significantly higher success rate than that of the ML group. In the complication rates, oesophageal intubation occurred in 0.2% (1/521) of in the VL group and in 6.0% (22/364) in the ML group, Indicating significantly higher complication rates in the ML group compared with the VL group (RR, 1.06; 95% CI, 1.03-1.09, P < 0.001). The ROSC rate and CPC1-2 rate are similar among the groups.Conclusion:
Our data suggest that using VL had a little advantage with a higher success rate and lower complication rate. Further discussion is necessary for the future development of Emergency Medical Services (EMS) intubation devices.
