Cardiac arrest & resuscitation
Increased rate of anoxic brain damage with laryngeal tube compared to endotracheal intubation in patients with shockable out-of-hospital cardiac arrest – Experience from the HAnnover COoling REgistry (HACORE)
Authors' conclusion
In this cohort, use of LT was associated with a higher rate of anoxic brain damage and worse functional neurological outcome compared to use of ETI.
Study context
- Population
- Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients with shockable rhythms and ROSC prior to transport, HAnnover COoling REgistry (HACORE), treated by the Hannover Cardiac Resuscitation Algorithm incl. therapeutic hypothermia

- Exposure
- Laryngeal tube vs endotracheal intubation for primary airway management
- Endotracheal intubation (ETI)n = 405reference
