1) Preparation
SOAPME (Suction, oxygen, airway, pharmacology, monitoring, equipment)
2) Preoxygenate (can replace 30ml/kg of nitrogen)
100% NRB for 3-5 minutes or 8 vical capacity breaths w/ high-flow O2
3) Pretreatment


   
   


Inc ICP: Lidocaine 1.5mg/kg + Fentanyl 3-5mcg/kg
* Preparation
 
* SOAPME (Suction, oxygen, airway, pharmacology, monitoring, equipment)
* Preoxygenate
 
* Nitrogen wash-out
Isc Heart Dz/Dissection: Fentanyl 3-5mcg/kg
* 100% NRB for 3-5min or 8 vital capacity breaths (BVM) w/ high-flow O2
 
*  Pretreatment
*  Incr ICP: Fentanyl 3-5mcg/kg (+- Lidocaine 1.5mg/kg (some think drop in MAP not worth it)
*  Ischemic heart dz/dissection: Fentanyl 3-5mcg/kg
* Reactive Airway Dz:  Lidocaine 1.5mg/kg (suppresses cough reflex)
* Peds (age <10): Atropine .01-.02mg/kg (max 0.5)
* Paralysis with induction
* INDUCTION
* Etomidate (0.3mg/kg)
* Especially good for hypotensive/trauma patients
* Hemodynamically neutral, decreases ICP
* Lowers seizure threshold in patients with known seizure disorder
* Does not blunt sympathetic reaction to intubation (no analgesic effect)
* Adrenal suppression is irrelevant with one-time dose
* Ketamine (1.5mg/kg)
* Agent of choice for asthmatics
* Sympathomimetic
* Avoid in pt with incr. ICP AND HTN
* Consider in pt with incr. ICP AND hypotension
* Midazolam (0.2 mg/kg)
* Consider in pt with CHF (nitro-life effect --> decr. vent filling pressure)
* Consider in pt in status epilepticus (anti-seizure effect)
* May decrease MAP, especially if pt hypovolemic
* Propofol (1.5 to 3 mg/kg)
* Consider in pt with bronchospasm
* Causes decrease in MAP, CPP
* PARALYSIS
* Succinylcholine
* Dosing
* 1.5 mg/kg - better to overdose than to underdose
* 2mg/kg - neonates/infants
* Contraindications
* Stroke less than 6 months old, MS, muscular dystrophies
* ECG changes c/w hyperkalemia
* OK to use in crush injury, acute stroke as long as within 3 days of occurrence
* Rocuronium

Ron Wall's 7 Ps of RSI

  • Preparation
  • SOAPME (Suction, oxygen, airway, pharmacology, monitoring, equipment)
  • Preoxygenate
  • Nitrogen wash-out
  • 100% NRB for 3-5min or 8 vital capacity breaths (BVM) w/ high-flow O2
  • Pretreatment
  • Incr ICP: Fentanyl 3-5mcg/kg (+- Lidocaine 1.5mg/kg (some think drop in MAP not worth it)
  • Ischemic heart dz/dissection: Fentanyl 3-5mcg/kg
  • Reactive Airway Dz: Lidocaine 1.5mg/kg (suppresses cough reflex)
  • Peds (age <10): Atropine .01-.02mg/kg (max 0.5)
  • Paralysis with induction
  • INDUCTION
  • Etomidate (0.3mg/kg)
  • Especially good for hypotensive/trauma patients
  • Hemodynamically neutral, decreases ICP
  • Lowers seizure threshold in patients with known seizure disorder
  • Does not blunt sympathetic reaction to intubation (no analgesic effect)
  • Adrenal suppression is irrelevant with one-time dose
  • Ketamine (1.5mg/kg)
  • Agent of choice for asthmatics
  • Sympathomimetic
  • Avoid in pt with incr. ICP AND HTN
  • Consider in pt with incr. ICP AND hypotension
  • Midazolam (0.2 mg/kg)
  • Consider in pt with CHF (nitro-life effect --> decr. vent filling pressure)
  • Consider in pt in status epilepticus (anti-seizure effect)
  • May decrease MAP, especially if pt hypovolemic
  • Propofol (1.5 to 3 mg/kg)
  • Consider in pt with bronchospasm
  • Causes decrease in MAP, CPP
  • PARALYSIS
  • Succinylcholine
  • Dosing
  • 1.5 mg/kg - better to overdose than to underdose
  • 2mg/kg - neonates/infants
  • Contraindications
  • Stroke less than 6 months old, MS, muscular dystrophies
  • ECG changes c/w hyperkalemia
  • OK to use in crush injury, acute stroke as long as within 3 days of occurrence
  • Rocuronium



5) Protection and positioning:

cricoid pressure until placement confirmed

sniffing position


6) Pass Tube

End-tidal CO2 detection is primary means of ETT placement confirmation

Cola-complication: need CO2 detection for at least 6 ventilations


7) Postintubation management


CXR

Long-active sedative (Midazolam 0.5mg/kg, Fentanyl 3mcg/kg)


Resp Arrest pts: consider esophageal detector device to confirm placement
