SCCM Resource Library-Guidelines: Rapid Sequence Intubation

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Dr. Edward Bittner presents the first half of rapid sequence intubation (RSI) guidelines developed by a multidisciplinary panel, highlighting its complexity and the need for consistent methods. RSI, common in emergency airway management, poses risks like aspiration and hypoxemia. The guidelines, formed using the GRADE methodology and experts, address critical questions. Key recommendations include using the semi-fowler position to aid intubation success, high-flow nasal cannula for pre-oxygenation to reduce desaturation, and non-invasive positive pressure ventilation for severe hypoxemia. Limited evidence supports medication-assisted pre-oxygenation using sedatives like ketamine for uncooperative patients.
