Why the study?

Does out-of-hospital endotracheal intubation improve survival and neurological outcome in pediatric patients treated in an urban EMS system?

Population

pediatric patients treated in an urban EMS system

Comparison

out-of-hospital endotracheal intubation (ETI) vs bag-valve-mask (BVM) ventilation

Implication

Adding ETI confers no advantage in pediatric out-of-hospital care; confirms BVM sufficiency as standard in urban EMS.
