Paper #1: A Simpler Method for Choosing Adult i-gel Size: An Evaluation of Real-World Prehospital Data.
The i-gel supraglottic airway device (Intersurgical, Berkshire, UK) is commonly used in the United States and worldwide for prehospital airway management. Previous research has suggested that a sex-based method of size selection (4.0 for female patients and 5.0 for male patients) is superior to a weight-based method in patients undergoing elective anesthesia. Their objective was to compare a sex-based i-gel size selection strategy with a weight-based strategy using real-world prehospital data.
Paper #2: A retrospective, multi-agency 'target trial emulation' for the comparison of post-resuscitation epinephrine to norepinephrine
Epinephrine and norepinephrine are the two most commonly used prehospital vasopressors in the United States. Prior studies have suggested that use of a post-ROSC epinephrine infusion may be associated with increased rearrest and mortality in comparison to use of norepinephrine.
They used target trial emulation methodology to compare the rates of rearrest and mortality between the groups of OHCA patients receiving these vasopressors in the prehospital setting.
