Milwaukee ROC PART Trial

Pragmatic Trial of Airway Management in Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest (PART)

What is the purpose of the PART Study?
The objective of this pragmatic trial is to compare the effectiveness of primary (initial) endotracheal intubation (ETI) versus primary (initial) laryngeal tube (LT) airway management strategies upon 72-hour survival after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). Over 350,000 out-of-hospital cardiac arrests occur each year in the United States. Of those, less than 10% survive.
