Popis: Abstract Background There is uncertainty about the best approaches for advanced airway management (AAM) and the effectiveness of adrenaline treatments in Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). This study aimed to evaluate whether AAM and adrenaline administration provided by Emergency Medical Service (EMS) can improve the outcomes of OHCA. Methods This study was a prospective analysis of collected data based on OHCA adult patients treated by the EMS in China from January 2019 to December 2020.The patients were divided into AAM group and no AAM group, and into subgroups according to whether adrenaline was used. The outcome was rate of return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC), survival to admission and hospital discharge. Results 1533 OHCA patients were reported. The probability of ROSC outcome and survival admission in the AAM group was significantly higher, compared with no AAM group. The probability of ROSC outcome in the AAM group increased by 66% (adjusted OR: 1.66, 95%CI, 1.02–2.71). There were no significant differences in outcomes between the adrenaline and no adrenaline groups. The combined treatment of AAM and adrenaline increased the probability of ROSC outcome by 114% (adjusted OR, 2.14, 95%CI, 1.20–3.81) and the probability of survival to admission increased by 115% (adjusted OR, 2.15, 95%CI, 1.16–3.97). Conclusions The prehospital AAM and the combined treatment of AAM and adrenaline in OHCA patients are both associated with an increased rate of ROSC. The combined treatment of AAM and adrenaline can improve rate of survival to admission in OHCA patients.
