  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. Tracheal intubation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tracheal_intubation

    Rapid sequence induction and intubation (RSI) is a particular method of induction of general anesthesia, commonly employed in emergency operations and other situations where patients are assumed to have a full stomach.

  4. 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.

  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. Cricothyrotomy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cricothyrotomy

    Cricothyrotomy is nearly always performed as a last resort in cases where other means of tracheal intubation are impossible or impractical. Compared with tracheotomy, cricothyrotomy is quicker and easier to perform, does not require manipulation of the cervical spine, and is associated with fewer complications. [1]

  7. General anaesthesia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_anaesthesia

    General anaesthesia is usually performed in an operating theatre to allow surgical procedures that would otherwise be intolerably painful for a patient, or in an intensive care unit or emergency department to facilitate endotracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation in critically ill patients. Depending on the procedure, general anaesthesia ...
