Reversible with Sugammadex (selective relaxant binding agent)
Responds to acetylcholinesterase
Reversible with acetylcholinesterase inhibitors
Not immediately reversible due to high dose
  Classical RSII
Modified RSII
Induction Agent e.g. Ketamine or Propofol
(2 mg/kg)
Inhibitory effect on central nervous system
       Cricoid pressure
(10 lbs pressure posteriorly)
Esophagus at the level of the cricoid obstructed
Reduced gastric regurgitation
Succinylcholine (2 mg/kg) acts similar to Ach
Depolarize end plate nicotinic receptors in skeletal muscle
Non-competitive with no antagonist
Rapid skeletal muscle paralysis
(<30 seconds) with short duration (<10 minutes)
Irreversible
Preoxygenation
with 100% O2 displaces nitrogen.
Functional residual capacity (2.5L) is filled with O2
Oxygen consumption (250 mL/min)
Extend time to desaturation (Ideal condition: 10 minutes)
Gastric distension with use of bag valve mask ventilation (positive pressure)
High dose Rocuronium (1 mg/kg) competitively antagonizes Ach
Decreased Ach binding on
nicotinic receptors in skeletal muscle
Rapid skeletal muscle paralysis (<60 seconds) with long duration (>45 minutes)

RSII is used in patients with increased risk of gastric aspiration. Cricoid pressure is NOT THE SAME as BURP (backward, upward, rightward pressure).
Other induction agents possible (e.g. etomidate).

Rapid sequence induction and intubation

Rapid Sequence Induction & Intubation (RSII): Indications & considerations
“Full stomach”: ↑ risk of regurgitation, vomiting, aspiration Life-threatening injury or illness requiring immediate or rapid airway control
         ↓ Gastro- esophageal sphincter competence (elderly, pregnancy, hiatus hernia, obesity)
↑ Intragastric pressure (pregnancy, obesity, bowel obstruction, large abdominal tumors)
Delayed gastric emptying (narcotics, anticholinergics, pregnancy, renal failure, diabetes)
↓ Level of consciousness (drug/alcohol overdose, head injury, trauma or shock state)
Respiratory & ventilatory compromise (i.e., hypoxic or hypercapnic respiratory failure)
Achalasia (esophageal motility disorder resulting in impaired swallowing)
Dynamically deteriorating clinical situation (i.e., trauma)
GI bleed
   Impaired airway reflexes
↓ Muscle tone of structures in the airway (i.e., tongue, pharyngeal walls, & soft palate)
     Patients who did not stop GLP-1 agonist preoperatively as advised
Impaired clearance of secretions or vomitus
↓ Safe apnea time before hemodynamic decompensation
   Unprotected airway
Need for rapidly securing airway while avoiding aspiration & hemodynamic compromise
Rapid sequence intubation (RSI): Simultaneous administration of induction agent (unconsciousness) & neuromuscular blocking agent (paralysis) to achieve intubation conditions (~45-60 seconds after IV push) for rapid control of an emergency airway
     Preoxygenation
Deranged physiologic conditions (i.e., hypotension, acidosis, hypoxemia)
Reduced tolerance for
apnea (period with no ventilation or oxygenation)
Pre-oxygenate with high flow O2 (15L) to create a large pulmonary & tissue reservoir of oxygen
↓ Significant oxygen desaturation during apnea
↑ Oxygen saturation on pulse oximetry
Induction
Laryngoscopy & intubation are a potent sympathetic nervous system stimulus
Airway manipulation causes a surge in catecholamines
Paralysis
Visualization & passage of endotracheal tube requires relaxation of vocal cords & surrounding muscles
Neuromuscular blocking agents facilitate paralysis
Rescue
     Some induction agents (i.e., propofol) are vasodilators
Hemodynamically unstable or patients in shock
     Hypotension
          Tachycardia
↑ Intracranial pressure (ICP)
Hypertension
Suppress cough & gag reflex
Prevent laryngospasm (involuntary closure of vocal cords to airway manipulation)
Minimize movement during procedure
Vasoactive agents (i.e., ephedrine, phenylephrine) ↑ systemic vascular resistance
Atropine & glycopyrrolate ↑ heart rate
      Lidocaine (Na+ channel blocker) & opioids (μ receptor agonist) ↓ transmission of pain
↓ Sympathetic response, myocardial demand & physiologic stress
Anesthetics (i.e., propofol) achieve unconsciousness for paralysis & intubation
↓ Airway trauma & damage to vocal cords
Bag mask ventilation typically avoided in this step to ↓ gastric insufflation & risk of aspiration
           Cricoid pressure (Sellick maneuver): posterior displacement of cricoid ring to compress esophagus against C-spine to prevent passive regurgitation of gastric contents to airway. Applied from start of induction, released when placement of endotracheal tube is confirmed by capnography.
Intubation
↑ Blood pressure and/or cardiac output
