Introduction: There are few data comparing Tracheal Intubation (TI) and SupraGlottic Airway (SGA) following pediatric out of hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). Hypothesis: TI is associated with improved outcomes compared to SGA following pediatric OHCA. Methods: Analysis of the Cardiac Arrest Registry to Enhance Survival database. Inclusion criteria were age ≤ 18 years, non-traumatic OHCA from 2013 through 2017, resuscitated by Emergency Medical Services (EMS). To adjust for covariate imbalance, propensity score matching and entropy balancing were utilized; variables included age category, sex, bystander CPR, and initial rhythm. Primary outcome was neurologically favorable survival defined as a cerebral performance category scale of 1 or 2. Secondary outcome was survival to hospital discharge. Results: Of 2653 cardiac arrests evaluated, 2178 (82.1%) had TI and 475 (17.9%) had SGA placed during OHCA. 835 (31.2%) arrests were resuscitated by agencies used bag valve mask (BVM) and TI and 1818 (68.0%) arrests had agencies that used all 3 airway types (BVM/TI/SGA). Overall, unadjusted favorable neurological survival was 5.7% for TI and 5.3% for SGA, p=0.67 and survival to hospital discharge was 7.9% for TI and 7.5% for SGA, p=0.73. In multivariable analysis (adjusting for age, sex, race/ethnicity, bystander witness, bystander CPR, initial rhythm, AED use, year of arrest, and agency category), SGA was associated with lower neurologically favorable survival compared to TI (adjusted proportion 3.7% vs. 6.3%, OR 0.49, p=0.01), and lower survival to hospital discharge (5.5% vs. 8.5%, OR 0.57, 95% CI 0.36, 0.89). These results were robust on tests for unmeasured confounding and covariate balance; propensity analysis neurologically favorable survival 4.4% vs.7.6% (OR 0.54, 95% CI 0.30, 0.96), survival to hospital discharge 6.6% vs.10.5% (OR 0.58, 95% CI 0.35, 0.95); and entropy balance neurologically favorable survival 5.0 % vs. 9.7% for ETI (OR 0.44, 95% CI 0.27, 0.72), survival to hospital discharge 7.3% vs.12.5% (OR 0.51, 95% CI 0.34, 0.78). Conclusion: In pediatric OHCA, TI, compared with SGA advanced airway management is associated with improved neurologically favorable survival and survival to hospital discharge.

AbstractTo investigate whether the optimal time to tracheal intubation (TTI) during cardiopulmonary resuscitation would differ by different blood gas phenotypes. Adult patients experiencing in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) from 2006 to 2015 were retrospectively screened. Early intra-arrest blood gas analysis, performed within 10 min of resuscitation, was used to define different phenotypes. In total, 567 patients were included. Non-severe acidosis (pH≧7.15) was associated with favourable neurological outcome (odds ratio [OR]: 4.60, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.63–12.95; p value = 0.004) and survival (OR: 3.25, 95% CI 1.72–6.15; p value < 0.001) in the multivariable logistic regression analyses. In the interaction analysis, normal blood gas phenotype (pH: 7.35–7.45, PCO2: 35–45 mm Hg, HCO3− level: 22–26 mmol/L) × TTI ≦ 6.3 min (OR: 20.40, 95% CI 2.53–164.75; p value = 0.005) and non-severe acidosis × TTI ≦ 6.3 min (OR: 3.35, 95% CI 1.00–11.23; p value = 0.05) were associated with neurological recovery while metabolic acidosis × TTI ≦ 5.7 min (OR: 3.63, 95% CI 1.36–9.67; p value = 0.01) and hypercapnic acidosis × TTI ≦ 10.4 min (OR: 2.27, 95% CI 1.20–4.28; p value = 0.01) were associated with survival. Intra-arrest blood gas analysis may help guide TTI during for patients with IHCA.
