Abstract

Background: The success of pre-hospital research relies on positive engagement from paramedics. Without adequate participation and protocol compliance trials will not succeed.

Aims: To seek feedback from paramedics about trial participation and determine their preferences regarding a future large-scale research study.

Methods: Paramedics participating in REVIVE-Airways were sent a feedback questionnaire according to their study allocation.

Findings: 99% of respondents were willing to participate in a further large-scale trial. Participants offered recommendations for future pre-hospital trials.

Conclusion: There was strong support for further clinical trials of alternative airway management strategies during OHCA. Paramedics welcome opportunities to participate in research and receive feedback about trial progress and patient outcomes.
