This prospective observational study evaluated the association of prehospital endotracheal intubation (ETI) status with return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC), 28-day survival, and favorable neurological outcome in adult patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) transported to the emergency department (ED) by emergency medical services (EMS). In addition, the study investigated the causes of failed ETI attempts and examined other clinical factors associated with 28-day survival, including bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), initial cardiac rhythm, blood gas parameters, and prehospital airway management strategy.
