“…Whether this would remain true several weeks or months after training is another matter. It has been reported that paramedics who have been well trained in the use of the Combitube become less proficient with time [10]. The theoretical advantage of the Combitube in protecting against aspiration has to be balanced against its greater complexity of use and higher cost.…”

Although there are a few reports comparing blood gas data during CPR with LMA and BVM, this is the first to show the data of "out-of hospital" cardiac arrests with "VF/VT" on initial ECG at the scene as classified by the Utstein template.…”
