Why RSI?
The 6 “Ps” of RSI Preparation Preoxygenation Pretreatment Paralysis with Induction Placement of Tube Post-intubation Management
Preparation Opening Gambit Assess Airway Assemble Equipment O2, O2 sat, 2 large bore IVs, cardiopulmonary monitoring Assess Airway Assemble Equipment Bag valve mask, suction, Mac/Miller blade, ET tubes / stylets, end tidal CO2 detector, nasal/oral airways, difficult airway adjuncts Prepare Intubating Medications
Preparation Specifics Blade type / blade size Tube size for adults and pediatrics Minimum 7.5 ETT for bronchoscopy Pediatric ETT size = (age/4) + 4
Preoxygenation
Pretreatment Lidocaine 1.5 mg/kg Opioids / Fentanyl 3 mcg/kg Atropine 0.02 mg/kg Defasciculating Dose
Paralysis with Induction Cricoid Pressure / Sellick Maneuver Defasciculation
Placement of Tube
Placement of Tube Depth of tube Managing a failed intubation attempt 3x the diameter of the ETT Managing a failed intubation attempt
Post-intubation Management Confirmation of Tube Placement Post-intubation sedation +/- paralysis
Post-intubation Desaturation Displacement Obstruction Pneumothorax Equipment
