Endotracheal Intubation
In this traditional model of OHCA airway management, advanced-level Emergency Medical Services (EMS) personnel will use ETI as the primary (initial) airway management intervention. If the EMS agency is assigned to this arm, basic-level EMS personnel will use bag-valve-mask ventilation only even if they would normally use an LT.
Laryngeal Tube (King)
In this test model of OHCA airway management, advanced-level Emergency Medical Services (EMS) personnel will use LT as the primary (initial) airway management intervention. Basic-level EMS personnel will use bag-valve-mask ventilation. If trained to use LT, basic-level EMS personnel may perform LT insertion.
