Review synthesis of two studies (Oliveira et al.; Carter et al.) comparing professional groups; "no significant difference in success rate between nurses, physicians, or ED-technicians" was found. No effect size printed; equivalence not tested.

"Lastly, two studies compared different health-professional groups and found no significant difference in success rate between nurses, physicians, or ED-technicians [25, 68]."
