ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
While various supraglottic airway devices are available for use during out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) resuscitation, comparisons of patient outcomes by device are limited. In this study, we aimed to compare outcomes of OHCA patients who had airway management by emergency medical services (EMS) with the iGel or King-LT.METHODS:
We used the 2018-2021 ESO Data Collaborative public use research datasets for this retrospective study. All patients with non-traumatic OHCA who had iGels or King-LTs inserted by EMS were included. Our primary outcome was survival to discharge to home, and secondary outcomes included first-pass success, return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC), and prehospital rearrest. We examined the association between airway device and each outcome using two-level mixed effects logistic regression with EMS agency as the random effect, adjusted for standard Utstein variables and failed intubation prior to supraglottic airway insertion. Average treatment effects were calculated through propensity score matching.RESULTS:
A total of 286,192 OHCA patients were screened, resulting in 93,866 patients eligible for inclusion in this analysis. A total of 9,456 transported patients (59.8% iGel) had associated hospital disposition data. Use of the iGel was associated with greater survival to discharge to home (aOR1.36 [1.06, 1.76]; ATE 2.2%[+0.5, +3.8]; n = 7,576), first pass airway success (aOR1.94 [1.79, 2.09]; n = 73,658), and ROSC (aOR1.19 [1.13, 1.26]; n = 73,207) in comparison to airway management with the King-LT. iGel use was associated with lower odds of experiencing a rearrest (aOR0.73 [0.67, 0.79]; n = 20,776). Among patients who received a supraglottic device as a primary airway, use of the iGel was not associated with significantly greater survival to discharge to home (aOR1.26 [0.95, 1.68]). Among patients who received a supraglottic device as a rescue airway following failed intubation, use of the iGel was associated with greater odds of survival to discharge to home (aOR2.16 [1.15, 4.04]).CONCLUSION:
In this dataset, use of the iGel during adult OHCA resuscitation was associated overall with better outcomes compared to use of the King-LT. Subgroup analyses suggested that use of the iGel was associated with greater odds of achieving the primary outcome than the King-LT when used as a rescue device but not when used as the primary airway management device.
