    Thank you for a very well written review of this topic. A problem with all the studies is that there are no measures of the duration of inflation or the peak inflation pressures reported. So it is not possible to know whether the clinicians delivered the randomised treatment and particularly worrying when the subgroups are analysed. This would be a problem with any treatment and needs to be acknowledged in the review.

    Sustained Inflation at Birth (NLS # 809) Systematic Review
  • Виктория Антонова

    When assessing the effect of nasopharyngeal suction just after birth is that there are no measures of how much fluid is removed. This is an important knowledge gap. I question the use of Apgar score as a main outcome. Apgar score is very subjective and imprecise because it is recorded after the event and depends on the resuscitator's recall. The same people who are involved in the suction are giving the Apgar score. This is a major source of bias and should be mention in the assessments using Apgar score. The term SaO2 is used. However, that is the terminology for arterial oxygen saturation. Peripheral arterial oxygen saturation measurements are not just arterial oxygen. The correct term to use for measurements of peripheral arterial oxygen saturation is SpO2.

    Thanks for the encouraging comment, we will consider if your suggestions need to be included in the gap of knowledge.

    First responder engaged by technology (EIT #878): Systematic Review
  • Виктория Антонова

    Thanks for the comment. We were aware of the secondary outcome survival in your study. The inclusion criteria defined in this systematic review every article that reports outcomes of technology engagement on OHCAs, without specifying if it is a primary or secondary outcome. Therefore, we used the outcomes form your study. Because such studies are not powered for secondary outcomes GRADE downgrades these studies in the risk of bias assessment. Despite of that, your results are a very important contribution in the field of first responders engagement with the help of modern technology.

    Thanks for your insight, we agree fully with your wish for high stake multicenter trials.

    Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest termination of resuscitation (TOR) rules (EIT #642 revised): Systematic Review
  • Виктория Антонова

    Thanks for your comment about possible impact of no TOR rules on hospital transport of futile patients. That was the reason why we added a paragraph about that in the Justification chapter of this CoSTR. EIT will consider your suggestion for the gap of knowledge.

  • Виктория Антонова

    Thank you for your comment. We did not identify any human studies that directly compared the rate of drug infusion between humeral IO vs IV during cardiac arrest. As such, there is insufficient evidence for making any conclusions on this topic.
