Prehospital Airway Control Trial (PACT)

Abstract

PACT is a proposed 5-year, open label, multi-center, stepped-wedge randomized trial to compare standard strategies of definitive airway management to a strategy of initial supraglottic airways in trauma patients within the prehospital setting. PACT aims to compare different methods of trauma airway management in the prehospital setting. Specific Aim one is to compare the effect of a standard strategy of airway management vs. a strategy of first attempt with supraglottic airway (SGA) on 24-hour survival after traumatic injury. Specific Aim two is to compare the effect of a standard strategy of airway management vs. a strategy of first attempt with supraglottic airway (SGA) on hospital survival after traumatic injury. Specific Aim three is to compare the effect of a standard strategy of airway management vs. a strategy of first attempt with supraglottic airway (SGA) on major adverse events.
