Summary

This trial is testing different ways to help critically ill children breathe better before they reach the hospital. They are comparing three methods: using a bag valve mask only, using a bag valve mask followed by a

Who is the study for?
This trial is for children under 18 who've had a cardiac arrest, major trauma, or respiratory failure and need emergency airway management. They must be at least 24 hours old and receive care from Pedi-PART EMS as part of an emergency response.
What is being tested?
The study compares prehospital airway management strategies in critically ill children: BVM-only, BVM followed by SGA (supraglottic airway), and BVM followed by ETI (endotracheal intubation). It's to see which method helps more kids stay out of the ICU after 30 days.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include complications related to incorrect tube placement, aspiration pneumonia due to vomiting with compromised airways, injury to teeth or soft tissues during intubation, and hyperventilation or hypoventilation from improper use of BVM.
