Rapid sequence intubation (RSI) is an airway management technique that produces inducing immediate unresponsiveness (induction agent) and muscular relaxation (neuromuscular blocking agent) and is …

Rapid sequence intubation is indicated when concern for aspiration exists, which is often the case in trauma patients. To complete an RSI, the patient should not be ventilated until the ETT is in place.

Rapid sequence intubation (RSI) is the specific technique of induction, sedation, neuromuscular blockade, and intubation often used in an emergency situation to secure an airway in an acutely …

Oct 30, 2025 · RSI involves the administration of an anesthetic induction agent followed quickly by a neuromuscular blocking agent (NMBA) to create optimal intubating conditions and minimize the …

HFNO enables continuous delivery during the intubation procedure. o For patients experiencing severe hypoxia (Pao2/Fio 2 < 150), non-invasive positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV) is the preferred …

RSI is typically used in patients who are at high risk of aspiration or who are critically ill and may be performed by anaesthesiologists, intensivists, emergency physicians or, in some regions, paramedics.

Rapid sequence induction (RSI) is intended to reduce the risk of aspiration by minimising the duration of an unprotected airway. Preparation and planning - including technique, medications, team member …
