Abstract
BACKGROUND Prehospital pediatric intubation is a potentially life-saving procedure in which paramedics are relied upon. However, due to the anatomical nature of pediatrics and associated adverse events, it is more challenging compared to adult intubation. In this study, the knowledge and attitude of paramedics was assessed by measuring their overall success rate and associated complications. METHODS An online search using PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Cochrane CENTRAL was conducted using relevant keywords to include studies that assess success rates and associated complications. Studies for eligibility were screened. Data were extracted from eligible studies and pooled as risk ratio (RR) with a 95% confidence interval (CI). RESULTS Thirty-eight studies involving 14,207 pediatrics undergoing intubation by paramedics were included in this study. The prevalence of success rate was 82.5% (95% CI, 0.745-0.832) for overall trials and 77.2% (95% CI, 0.713-0.832) success rate after the first attempt. By subgrouping the patients according to using muscle relaxants during intubation, the group that used muscle relaxants showed a high overall successful rate of 92.5% (95% CI, 0.877-0.973) and 79.9% (95% CI, 0.715-0.994) success rate after the first attempt, more than the group without muscle relaxant which represent 78.9% (95% CI, 0.745-0.832) overall success rate and 73.3% (95% CI, 0.616-0.950) success rate after first attempt. CONCLUSION Paramedics have a good overall successful rate of pediatric intubation with a lower complication rate, especially when using muscle relaxants.

Ann Emerg Med 2024; 83:185-195. [PMID: 37999654 DOI: 10.1016/j.annemergmed.2023.09.023] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/18/2023] [Revised: 09/25/2023] [Accepted: 09/28/2023] [Indexed: 11/25/2023]
Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVE To determine the association between early versus late advanced airway management and improved outcomes in pediatric out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. METHODS We performed a retrospective cohort study using data from the out-of-hospital cardiac arrest registry in Japan. We included pediatric patients (<18 years) with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest who had received advanced airway management (tracheal intubation, supraglottic airway, and esophageal obturator). The main exposure was early (≤20 minutes) versus late (>20 minutes) advanced airway management. The primary and secondary outcome measurements were survival and favorable neurologic outcomes at 1 month, respectively. To address resuscitation time bias, we performed risk-set matching analyses using time-dependent propensity scores. RESULTS Out of the 864 pediatric patients with both out-of-hospital cardiac arrest and advanced airway management over 67 months (2014 to 2019), we included 667 patients with adequate data (77%). Of these 667 patients, advanced airway management was early for 354 (53%) and late for 313 (47%) patients. In the risk-set matching analysis, the risk of both survival (risk ratio 0.98 for early versus late [95% confidence interval 0.95 to 1.02]) and favorable 1-month neurologic outcomes (risk ratio 0.99 [95% confidence interval 0.97 to 1.00]) was similar between early and late advanced airway management groups. In sensitivity analyses, with time to early advanced airway management defined as ≤10 minutes and ≤30 minutes, both outcomes were again similar. CONCLUSION In pediatric out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, the timing of advanced airway management may not affect patient outcomes, but randomized controlled trials are needed to address this question further.

Abstract
Airway management is a cornerstone of emergency medical care. This project aimed to create evidence-based guidelines based on the systematic review recently conducted by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ). A technical expert panel was assembled to review the evidence using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) methodology. The panel made specific recommendations on the different PICO (population, intervention, comparison, outcome) questions reviewed in the AHRQ review and created good practice statements that summarize and operationalize these recommendations. The recommendations address the use of ventilation with bag-valve mask ventilation alone vs. supraglottic airways vs. endotracheal intubation for adults and children with cardiac arrest, medical emergencies, and trauma. Additional recommendations address the use of video laryngoscopy and drug-assisted airway management. These recommendations, and the associated good practice statements, offer EMS agencies and clinicians an opportunity to review the available evidence and incorporate it into their airway management strategies.

Abstract
Previously, the SOS-KANTO 2012 studies, conducted in the Kanto area of Japan, reported a summary of outcomes in patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). This sub-analysis of the SOS-KANTO study 2017 aimed to evaluate the neurological outcomes of paediatric OHCA patients, by comparing the SOS-KANTO 2012 and 2017 studies. All OHCA patients, aged < 18 years, who were transported to the participating hospitals by EMS personnel were included in both SOS-KANTO studies (2012 and 2017). The number of survival patients with favourable neurological outcomes (paediatric cerebral performance category 1 or 2) at 1 month did not improve between 2012 and 2017. There was no significant difference in achievement of pre-hospital return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) [odds ratio (OR): 2.00, 95% confidence interval (95% CI): 0.50-7.99, p = 0.50] and favourable outcome at 1 month [OR: 0.67, 95% CI: 0.11-3.99, p = 1] between the two studies, matched by age, witnessed arrest, bystander CPR, aetiology of OHCA, and time from call to EMS arrival. Multivariable logistic regression showed no significant difference in the achievement of pre-hospital ROSC and favourable outcomes at 1 month between the two studies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Airway management with supraglottic airway devices (SGA) in life-threatening emergencies in children is increasingly being used. Different specifications of laryngeal masks (LM) and the laryngeal tube (LT) are commonly used devices for this purpose. We present a literature review and interdisciplinary consensus statement of different societies on the use of SGA in pediatric emergency medicine. MATERIAL AND METHODS Literature review in the PubMed database and classification of studies according to the criteria of the Oxford Centre for Evidence-based Medicine. Levels and consensus finding within the group of authors. RESULTS The evidence for successful applications of the various types of LM is significantly higher than for LT application. Reported smaller series of successful applications of LT are currently limited to selected research groups and centers. Especially for children below 10 kg body weight there currently exists insufficient evidence for the successful application of the LT and therefore its routine use cannot be recommended. SGAs used for emergencies should have a gastric drainage possibility. DISCUSSION Considering the scientific data and the large clinical experience with the LM in medical routine and emergency situations in children currently only the LM can be recommended for alternative (i.e., non-intubation) emergency airway management in children. If alternative airway management is part of a local emergency strategy, the LM should be provided in all pediatric sizes (1, 1½, 2, 2½, 3) for out of hospital use and in hospital emergency use and all users should regularly be trained in its application.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Although airway management is important in pediatric resuscitation, the effectiveness of bag-mask ventilation (BMV) and advanced airway management (AAM), such as endotracheal intubation (ETI) and supraglottic airway (SGA) devices, for prehospital resuscitation of pediatric out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) remains unclear. We aimed to determine the efficacy of AAM during prehospital resuscitation of pediatric OHCA cases. METHODS We searched four databases from their inception to November 2022 and included randomized controlled trials and observational studies with appropriate adjustments for confounders that evaluated prehospital AAM for OHCA in children aged <18 years in quantitative synthesis. We compared three interventions (BMV, ETI, and SGA) via network meta-analysis using the GRADE Working Group approach. The outcome measures were survival and favorable neurological outcomes at hospital discharge or 1 month after cardiac arrest. RESULTS Five studies (including one clinical trial and four cohort studies with rigorous confounding adjustment) involving 4852 patients were analyzed in our quantitative synthesis. Compared with ETI, BMV was associated with survival (relative risk [RR] 0.44 [95% confidence intervals (CI) 0.25-0.77]) (very low certainty). There were no significant association with survival in the other comparisons (SGA vs. BMV: RR 0.62 [95% CI 0.33-1.15] [low certainty], ETI vs. SGA: RR 0.71 [95% CI 0.39-1.32] [very low certainty]). There was no significant association with favorable neurological outcomes in any comparison (ETI vs. BMV: RR 0.33 [95% CI 0.11-1.02]; SGA vs. BMV: RR 0.50 [95% CI 0.14-1.80]; ETI vs. SGA: RR 0.66 [95% CI 0.18-2.46]) (all very low certainty). In the ranking analysis, the hierarches for efficacy for survival and favorable neurological outcome were BMV > SGA > ETI. CONCLUSION Although the available evidence is from observational studies and its certainty is low to very low, prehospital AAM for pediatric OHCA did not improve outcomes.

Abstract
Objective: To assess comparative benefits and harms across three airway management approaches (bag valve mask [BVM], supraglottic airway [SGA], and endotracheal intubation [ETI]) used by prehospital emergency medical services (EMS) to treat patients with trauma, cardiac arrest, or medical emergencies, and how they differ based on techniques and devices, EMS personnel and patient characteristics. Data sources: We searched electronic citation databases (Ovid® MEDLINE®, CINAHL®, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, and Scopus®) from 1990 to September 2020. Review methods: We followed Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality Effective Health Care Program Methods guidance. Outcomes included mortality, neurological function, return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC), and successful advanced airway insertion. Meta-analyses using profile-likelihood random effects models were conducted, with analyses stratified by study design, emergency type, and age. Results: We included 99 studies involving 630,397 patients. We found few differences in primary outcomes across airway management approaches. For survival, there was no difference for BVM versus ETI or SGA in adult and pediatric patients with cardiac arrest or trauma. For neurological function, there was no difference for BVM versus ETI and SGA versus ETI in pediatric patients with cardiac arrest. There was no difference in BVM versus ETI in adults with cardiac arrest, but improved neurological function with BVM or ETI versus SGA. There was no difference in ROSC for patients with cardiac arrest for BVM versus ETI or SGA in adults and pediatrics, or SGA versus ETI in pediatrics. There was higher frequency of ROSC in adults with SGA versus ETI. For successful advanced airway insertion, there was higher first-pass success with SGA versus ETI for all patients except adult medical patients (no difference), and no difference in overall success using SGA versus ETI in adults. Conclusions: The currently available evidence does not indicate benefits of more invasive airway approaches based on survival, neurological function, ROSC, or successful airway insertion. Strength of evidence was low or moderate; most included studies were observational. This supports the need for high-quality randomized controlled trials to advance clinical practice and EMS education and policy, and improve patient-centered outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Paediatric out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) results in high mortality and poor neurological outcomes. We conducted this study to describe and compare the effects of pre-hospital airway management on survival outcomes for paediatric OHCA in the Asia-pacific region. METHODS We performed a retrospective analysis of the Pan Asian Resuscitation Outcomes Study (PAROS) data from January 2009 to June 2018. PAROS is a prospective, observational, multi-centre cohort study from eleven countries. The primary outcomes were one-month survival and survival with favourable neurological status, defined as Cerebral Performance Category1 or 2. We performed multivariate analyses of the unmatched and propensity matched cohort. RESULTS We included 3131 patients less than 18 years in the study. 2679 (85.6%) children received bag-valve-mask (BVM) ventilations, 81 (2.6%) endotracheal intubations (ETI) and 371 (11.8%) supraglottic airways (SGA). 792 patients underwent propensity score matching. In the matched cohort, advanced airway management (AAM: SGA and ETI) when compared with BVM group was associated with decreased one-month survival [AAM: 28/396 (7.1%) versus BVM: 55/396 (13.9%); adjusted odds ratio (aOR), 0.46 (95% CI, 0.29 - 0.75); p = 0.002] and survival with favourable neurological status [AAM: 8/396 (2.0%) versus BVM: 31/396 (7.8%); aOR, 0.22 (95% CI, 0.10 - 0.50); p < 0.001]. For SGA group, we observed less 1-month survival [SGA: 24/337 (7.1%) versus BVM: 52/337 (15.4%); aOR, 0.41 (95%CI, 0.25 - 0.69), p = 0.001] and survival with favourable neurological status. CONCLUSION In children with OHCA in the Asia-Pacific region, pre-hospital AAM was associated with decreased one-month survival and less favourable neurological status.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Critically ill children may require airway management to optimize delivery of oxygen and ventilation during resuscitation. We performed a systematic review of studies comparing the use of bag-valve-mask ventilation (BVM), supraglottic airway devices (SGA), and endotracheal intubation (ETI) in pediatric patients requiring prehospital airway management. METHODS We searched Ovid MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane databases for papers that compared SGA or ETI to BVM use in children, including studies that reported survival outcomes. We followed the Preferred Reporting Items in Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines and assessed study quality using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. We compared key characteristics of the candidate papers, including inclusion criteria, definitions of airway interventions, and association with outcomes. RESULTS Of 773 studies, eight met criteria for inclusion. Only one study was a randomized controlled trial; the other seven studies were observational. Four studies compared ETI to BVM, two studies compared SGA to BVM, one study compared ETI to SGA, and two studies compared advanced airway management (AAM) to BVM. Primary outcomes varied, ranging from overall mortality and 24-h mortality to 1-month survival, hospital survival, and neurologically favorable survival. Four of the studies found no difference in survival with the use of ETI, and four found increased mortality with the use of ETI. Associations with outcomes could not be assessed by meta-analysis due to limited number of studies and the wide variation in the design, population, interventions, and outcome measures of the included studies. CONCLUSIONS In this systematic review, studies of prehospital pediatric airway management varied in scope, design, and conclusions. There was insufficient evidence to evaluate efficacy of pediatric prehospital airway management; however, the current research suggests that there are equal or worse outcomes with the use of ETI compared to other airway techniques. Additional clinical trials are needed to assess the merits of this practice.

Endotracheal intubation versus supraglottic procedure in paediatric out-of-hospital cardiac arrest: a registry-based study. Resuscitation 2021; 168:191-198. [PMID: 34418479 DOI: 10.1016/j.resuscitation.2021.08.015] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/30/2020] [Revised: 07/29/2021] [Accepted: 08/12/2021] [Indexed: 11/19/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) in children is associated with a low survival rate. Conclusions in the literature are conflicting regarding the best way to handle ventilation. The purpose of this study was to assess the impact of two airway management strategies, endotracheal intubation (ETI) vs. supraglottic procedure, during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) on 30-day survival in paediatric OHCA. METHODS This was a retrospective, observational, multicentre, registry-based study conducted from July 2011 to March 2018. All paediatric OHCA patients under 18 years of age and managed by a mobile intensive care unit were included. The primary endpoint was 30-day survival in a weighted population (based on propensity scores). RESULTS Of 1579 children, 1355 (85.8%) received ETI and 224 (14.2%) received supraglottic ventilation during CPR. We observe a lower 30-day survival in the ETI group compared to the supraglottic group (7.7% vs. 14.3%, absolute difference, 6.6 percentage points; 95% confidence interval [CI], 2.3-12.0; propensity-adjusted odds ratio [paOR], 0.39; 95% CI, 0.25-0.62; p < 0.001), and also a poorer neurological outcome (paOR, 0.32; 95% CI, 0.19-0.54; p < 0.001). However, we did not identify any significant association between airway management strategy and return of spontaneous circulation (paOR, 1.15; 95% CI, 0.80-1.65; p = 0.46). CONCLUSIONS The findings of this large cohort study suggest that ETI in paediatric OHCA, although performed by trained physicians, is associated with a worse outcome, regardless of traumatic or non-traumatic aetiology.

Association between time to advanced airway management and neurologically favourable survival during out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Anaesth Crit Care Pain Med 2021; 40:100906. [PMID: 34147685 DOI: 10.1016/j.accpm.2021.100906] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/22/2020] [Revised: 01/22/2021] [Accepted: 02/16/2021] [Indexed: 10/21/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Advanced airway management (AAM) is commonly performed as part of advanced life support. However, there is controversy about the association between the timing of AAM and outcomes after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). This study aimed to determine whether time to AAM is associated with outcomes after OHCA. METHODS This was a nationwide population-based observational study using the Japanese government-led registry of OHCA. Adults who experienced OHCA and received AAM by EMS personnel in the prehospital setting from 2014 to 2017 were included. Multivariable logistic regression models were used to assess the associations between time to AAM (defined as time in minutes from emergency call to the first successful AAM) and outcomes after OHCA. Then, associations between early (≤ 20 min) vs. delayed (> 20 min) AAM and outcomes after OHCA were examined using propensity score-matched analyses. The primary outcome was one-month neurologically favourable survival. RESULTS A total of 164,223 patients (median [IQR] age, 80 [69-86] years; 57.7% male) were included. The median time to AAM was 17 min (IQR, 14-22). Longer time to AAM was significantly associated with a decreased chance of one-month neurologically favourable survival (multivariable adjusted OR per minute delay, 0.90 [95% CI, 0.90-0.91]). In the propensity score-matched cohort, compared with early AAM, delayed AAM was associated with a decreased chance of one-month neurologically favourable survival (516 of 50,997 [1.0%] vs. 226 of 50,997 [0.4%]; RR, 0.44; 95% CI, 0.37-0.51; NNT, 176). CONCLUSIONS Delay in AAM was associated with a decreased chance of one-month neurologically favourable survival among patients with OHCA.

Abstract
The prognosis of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is very poor. Although several pre-hospital factors are associated with survival, the different association of pre-hospital factors with OHCA outcomes in pediatric and adult groups remain unclear. To assess the association of pre-hospital factors with OHCA outcomes among pediatric and adult groups, a retrospective observational study was conducted using the emergency medical service (EMS) database in Kaohsiung from January 2015 to December 2019. Pre-hospital factors, underlying diseases, and OHCA outcomes were collected for the pediatric (Age ≤ 20) and adult groups. Kaplan-Meier type plots and multivariable logistic regression were used to analyze the association between pre-hospital factors and outcomes. In total, 7,461 OHCAs were analyzed. After adjusting for EMS response time, bystander CPR, attended by EMT-P, witness, and pre-hospital defibrillation, we found that age [odds ratio (OR) = 0.877, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.764-0.990, p = 0.033], public location (OR = 7.681, 95% CI: 1.975-33.428, p = 0.003), and advanced airway management (AAM) (OR = 8.952; 95% CI, 1.414-66.081; p = 0.02) were significantly associated with survival till hospital discharge in pediatric OHCAs. The results of Kaplan-Meier type plots with log-rank test showed a significant difference between the pediatric and adult groups in survival for 2 h (p < 0.001), 24 h (p < 0.001), hospital discharge (p < 0.001), and favorable neurologic outcome (p < 0.001). AAM was associated with improved survival for 2 h (p = 0.015), 24 h (p = 0.023), and neurologic outcome (p = 0.018) only in the pediatric group. There were variations in prognostic factors between pediatric and adult patients with OHCA. The prognosis of the pediatric group was better than that of the adult group. Furthermore, AAM was independently associated with outcomes in pediatric patients, but not in adult patients. Age and public location of OHCA were independently associated with survival till hospital discharge in both pediatric and adult patients.
