Summary
Airway management in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest is still debated.
Several options exist: bag-valve-mask ventilation, supraglottic devices and endotracheal intubation.
Intermediate and advanced airway management strategies could be useful devices to increase chest compression fraction.
A previous study shows that early insertion of an i-gel device significantly increases chest compression fraction and enhances respiratory parameters.
However, the compressions were found to be shallower in the experimental group using the i-gel device.
Although, the shallower compressions found in the supraglottic airway device group did not appear to be linked to their provision in an over-the-head position, it is reasonable to assume that the addition of a feedback device to the use of an i-gel® device could fix this issue.
The feedback devices seem to be able to provide a benefit, and allow deeper compressions / more often in the depth target.
There is a mismatch between perceived and actual cardiopulmonary resuscitation performance supporting the need for such a feedback device's study.
