Annals of Surgery Volume 269, Number 3 urban setting to either prehospital rapid sequence intubation by intensive care trained paramedics or transport to a hospital emergency department for intubation by physicians. The primary outcome measured was the median extended Glasgow Outcome Scale at 6 months and one of the secondary outcomes was favorable neurologic outcomes at 6 months. The primary outcome showed no statistical significance between the 2 groups. The secondary outcome, however, did show statistically significant favorable neurologic outcomes at 6 months in those patients intubated by paramedics in the field compared with the hospital intubated patients. The authors call for caution in interpreting results based on secondary endpoints.
