The prior national EMT curriculum included ETI as an optional module [27]. However, the ability of EMTs to acquire and maintain clinical ETI skills remains unclear. Two independent studies of EMT ETI found suboptimal success rates (<50%) [28, 29]. However, several series describe the ability of basic EMTs to use supraglottic airways (SGA) successfully [30–32]. The current National EMS Education Standards do not list either ETI or SGA as EMT skills; SGA are listed for AEMTs.
