About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Prehospital Airway Management in Patients With Cardiac Arrest focused on measuring out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA), supraglottic airway (SGA), endotracheal intubation (ETI), emergency medical system (EMS), Supraglottic Airway Versus Endotracheal tube (SAVE)
