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
