ROC has been kicking around doing a randomized study looking at ETI and supraglottic airways during cardiac arrest for awhile; from what I head a few months ago it may actually be in the works after the completion of ALPS. The problem is that there are a few ROC members who will catagorically refuse to be involved in this, including some that already have both high resuscitation rates, and high first pass success rates for ETI. A true randomized study absolutely needs to be done, but as with all studies on paramedic ETI, it has to first use services that are truly competant at intubation before it's studied in the average service. Depending on the study design, that may be hard to do.
