  2. Tracheal intubation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tracheal_intubation

    This procedure is commonly performed by flight paramedics. Flight paramedics often use RSI to intubate before transport because intubation in a moving fixed-wing or rotary-wing aircraft is extremely difficult to perform due to environmental factors. The patient will be paralyzed and intubated on the ground before transport by aircraft.
