Description
Summary:Abstract only Background: While endotracheal intubation (ETI) is the most common prehospital advanced airway management technique in the United States (US), observations from clinical trials and the COVID-19 pandemic have motivated the broader use of supraglottic airways (SGA). The current national patterns of prehospital airway practices are unknown. We sought to describe longitudinal trends in Emergency Medical Services (EMS) advanced airway management in the US. Methods: We analyzed 2011-2021 data from ESO, a data set of US prehospital electronic health records. We identified all 911 events with attempted advanced airway management, determining the annual percentage receiving ETI and/or SGA attempts. We determined temporal trends using mixed effects regression. We stratified the analyses by condition (cardiac arrest, trauma, medical non-arrest) and age (adult vs. children [
