To the Editor:

To have access to the airway is of vital importance during a cardiac arrest. In the out-of-hospital and inhospital settings, before a difficult airway, the ventilation and oxygenation must be ensured as soon as possible, but tracheal intubation requires training and regular practice; thus, untrained personnel should not waste time trying to do it and should focus on high-quality chest compressions and ventilation bag and mask, until the arrival of expert resuscitators.
