7.5 ET tube with stylet fits most adults, 7.0 for smaller females, 8.0 for larger males, test balloon by filling with 10 cc of air with a syringe NRBM and BVM attached to 15 LPM of O2, preferably with nasal prongs for apneic oxygenation at least one working suction, place it between mattress and bed Maintain a ‘sterile cockpit environment’ when communicating the airway plan to the team, ideally through use of a ‘call and response’ checklist- otherwise one of these two mnemonics will help: In the event of a failed airway, another person may take on the role of the airway proceduralist and role re-allocation must be clearly communicated to the team. person to perform cricoid pressure (if deemed necessary).The team leader may perform one of the above roles if necessary, but should ideally be a separate stand alone role. The airway team should be a minimum of 3 people: Ideally, minimise instrumentation and suctioning prior to intubation to avoid stimulation of the patient’s gag reflex. Some add a 10th P for (cricoid) pressure after pretreatment but this procedure is optional and has many drawbacks (see Cricoid Pressure) Positioning (some do this after paralysis and induction).Preparation (drugs, equipment, people, place).Secretions, blood, vomitus, and distorted anatomy.

Full stomach (increased risk of regurgitation, vomiting, aspiration).Dynamically deteriorating clinical situation, i.e., there is a real “need for speed”.RSI is useful if the following are present (from Richard Levitan’s ): neck trauma, tumour)įACTORS THAT MAKE EMERGENCY INTUBATION DIFFICULT emergency surgical airway is not possible (e.g.paediatric cases (especially congenital deformity, laryngeal fracture) urgent need to OT and theatre is available anatomically or pathologically difficult airway (e.g.cervical spine injury (diaphragmatic paralysis).major trauma requiring multiple interventions) Lack of airway protection despite patency (swallow, gag, cough, positioning, and tone)hypoxia.
The decision to perform RSI in the ‘out of theatre’ setting involves weighing the pros and cons: procedures) and for safety during transport (e.g.
‘modified’ RSI is a term sometimes used to describe variations on the ‘classic’ RSI approach (e.g.RSI is particularly useful in the patient with an intact gag reflex, a “full” stomach, and a life threatening injury or illness requiring immediate airway control.the cessation of spontaneous ventilation involves considerable risk if the provider does not intubate or ventilate the patient in a timely manner.
