The EMS Lighthouse Project

We interviewed Tanner Smida in episode 69 about his very interesting paper using the ESO dataset looking at the association between survival from out of hospital cardiac arrest and type of SGA used (iGel vs KingLT). He found 36% higher odds of survival with iGel.
The ink was barely dry on that paper before he published a follow up paper looking at the same association but with a different dataset, this time CARES, and national US registry of OHCA.
