Comparing airway management techniques during in-hospital cardiac arrest
Hospital Airway Resuscitation Trial
This study is looking at two different ways to help people breathe during a cardiac arrest in the hospital, to see which method works better for improving survival and reducing complications.

What this research studies
This research investigates the effectiveness of different airway management techniques used during in-hospital cardiac arrest, specifically comparing endotracheal intubation and supraglottic airway placement. The study will involve a cluster-randomized trial across various community hospitals, where patients experiencing cardiac arrest will receive one of the two airway management strategies. By analyzing patient outcomes, the research aims to provide evidence-based recommendations for best practices in emergency airway management. The goal is to improve survival rates and reduce complications associated with cardiac arrest in hospitalized patients.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research are hospitalized patients aged 21 years and older who experience a cardiac arrest.
Not a fit: Patients who are not hospitalized or those under 21 years old may not benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to improved survival rates and better outcomes for patients experiencing cardiac arrest in hospitals.
How similar studies have performed: Previous research has shown promising results for supraglottic airway management in out-of-hospital settings, but this specific approach in the in-hospital context is novel.
