Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation: To Intubate or Not to Intubate

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.
