Breathing tube before hospital: lifesaver or not?
NCT ID NCT07524881
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study examined 297 adults who had a cardiac arrest outside the hospital and were treated by emergency services. Researchers wanted to see if placing a breathing tube before arriving at the hospital helped more people survive for 28 days and have better brain function. They also looked at factors like bystander CPR and heart rhythm to understand what improves outcomes.
