Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Included in the analysis are all adult patients undergoing non-traumatic resuscitation (all initial heart rhythms in OHCA, such as asystole, PEA and ventricular fibrillation) with a successful airway management using endotracheal intubation (ETI) during resuscitation from 2014 (beginning of consistent recording of videolaryngoscopy in the register) to 2022 from the German resuscitation register.

Exclusion criteria: - Children and young people aged < 18 years - OHCA due to trauma (Traumatic Resuscitation) - Exclusive use of supraglottic airway management - Only mask ventilation - No airway management performed during resuscitation - Resuscitation in in-hospital emergency care - missing data e.g. missing RACA score

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
ROSC rate at hospital admission in a group comparison between the two groups of non-traumatic OHCA and intubation by video laryngoscopy (VL) and OHCA and intubation by direct conventional laryngoscopy (DL).

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Ever ROSC under resuscitation (ROSC) 24-h survival in hospital (24-h survival) hospital discharge Neurological outcome at discharge based on the CPC score (Cerebral Performance Categories Scale (9); (1) Minimal Disability; (2) Moderate; (3) Severe; (4) Vegetative; and (5) Brain Dead)
