    Materials and Methods: A systematic review of 10 scientific articles found in the following databases: Pubmed, Medline, Cochrane Plus. We identified 10 scientific pieces of evidence. The search was restricted to full-text articles, and the selected articles underwent a critical reading, using the GRADE system evaluation to identify their level of evidence. Among the 10 evidences, 40% (4/10) were case-control studies, 30% (3/10) were systematic reviews and meta-analyses, 20% (2/10) were cohort studies, and 10% (1/10) was a randomized controlled trial. 70% of the evidence came from the United States, followed by 20% from Japan and 10% from the United Kingdom. Results: In the final selection, 10 articles were chosen, and it was found that 100% (n=10/10) of the evidence indicated: 40% (n=4) report that supraglottic devices have a similar effectiveness to the endotracheal tube; 20% (n=2) report that supraglottic devices have greater effectiveness than the endotracheal tube; 40% (n=4) report that the endotracheal tube is associated with better outcomes, which are not associated with significant clinical consequences. Conclusions: The scientific articles reviewed provided evidence that supraglottic devices present a similar effectiveness to the endotracheal tube in adult patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.
