Article Synopsis
  • The study analyzes trends in advanced airway management, specifically endotracheal intubation (ETI) and supraglottic airway (SGA) use, within U.S. emergency medical services (EMS) from 2011 to 2022.
  • Among 47.5 million EMS calls, there was a notable decline in ETI attempts and a rise in SGA attempts, particularly in cardiac arrest and pediatric cases, indicating a shift in emergency response practices.
