Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation: To Intubate or Not to Intubate
Journal Title: Emergency Medicine – Open Journal - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a “tug of war” between life and death. The most suspenseful and technically difficult task in the resuscitation process is often endotracheal intubation. However, the benefits of endotracheal intubation during CPR have been seriously challenged in recent literature.
