Acute cardiac care & 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 return of spontaneous circulation before transport, treated per the Hannover Cardiac Resuscitation Algorithm incl. therapeutic hypothermia (HACORE)
- Participants

- Exposure
- Laryngeal tube (LT) vs endotracheal intubation (ETI) for primary airway management
- LTn = 47
- ETIn = 405reference
