  2. Rapid sequence induction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rapid_sequence_induction

    Rapid sequence intubation refers to the pharmacologically induced sedation and neuromuscular paralysis prior to intubation of the trachea. The technique is a quicker form of the process normally used to induce general anesthesia. A useful framework for describing the technique of RSI is the "seven Ps". [27]

  3. Airway management - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airway_management

    Endotracheal intubation carries with it many risks, particularly when paralytics are used, as maintenance of the airway becomes a challenge if intubation fails. It should therefore be attempted by experienced personnel, only when less invasive methods fail or when it is deemed necessary for safe transport of the patient, to reduce risk of ...

  4. Tracheal intubation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tracheal_intubation

    Tracheal intubation is anticipated to be difficult in this child with a massive ameloblastoma. Tracheal intubation is not a simple procedure and the consequences of failure are grave. Therefore, the patient is carefully evaluated for potential difficulty or complications beforehand.

  5. Neuromuscular-blocking drug - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuromuscular-blocking_drug

    Among all NMBA, Succinylcholine establish the most stable and fastest intubating conditions, thus is considered as the preferred NMBA for rapid sequence induction and intubation (RSII). [12] Alternatives for succinylcholine for RSII include high dose rocuronium (1.2mg/kg which is a 4 X ED95 dose), or avoidance of NMBAs with a high dose ...

  6. Cricoid pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cricoid_pressure

    Cricoid pressure, also known as the Sellick manoeuvre or Sellick maneuver, is a technique used in endotracheal intubation to try to reduce the risk of regurgitation.The technique involves the application of pressure to the cricoid cartilage at the neck, thus occluding the esophagus which passes directly behind it.

  7. Cerebral edema - Wikipedia

    However, the laryngeal instrumentation involved in the intubation process is associated with an acute, brief rise in intracranial pressure. [36] Pretreatment with a sedative agent and neuromuscular blocking agent to induce unconsciousness and motor paralysis has been recommended as part of standard Rapid Sequence Intubation (RSI). [ 36 ]

    Endotracheal intubation, cricothyrotomy (surgical airway), delayed and rapid sequence induction (in some jurisdictions), use of magill forceps, airway suctioning. Breathing Assessment (rate, effort, symmetry, skin color), obstructed airway maneuver, supplemental oxygen administration by nasal cannula, rebreathing and non-rebreathing mask ...
