Abstract
This study aims to identify advantages in the speed and success rates of intubation with a supraglottic airway device and tracheal intubation into a simulated trauma patient in an automobile accident. Forty-two EMT-Paramedics (21 in LTS group, 21, in VL group) from Region “K” in Korea performed either laryngeal tube suction (LTS) using a supraglottic airway device (SAD) or tracheal intubation using a video laryngoscope (VL) on a manikin simulating a trauma patient in an overturned automobile, noting the success rate and speed. Among the two methods for advanced airway management used in the experiment, LTS using the SAD was found to have the fastest deployment speed; LTS was also found to have a higher degree of accuracy (p<.001). According to the study, the use of faster and more precise LTS is more effective for the airway management of emergency patients in an overturned vehicle.
