Rapid Sequence Inductions in the ED

Author: Fiqry Fadhlillah / Editor: Beth Newstead / Reviewer: Tadgh Moriarty / Codes: / Published: 02/08/2021

This module is about the assessment and management of a deteriorating airway in the emergency department (ED).

Learning objectives:

• Recognise a deteriorating airway
• Be aware of the necessary steps for safe intubation
• Appreciate the equipment necessary for the monitoring of patients undergoing intubation
• Identify the roles of personnel involved in intubation
• Demonstrate an understanding of the difficult airway algorithm
• Demonstrate the steps to troubleshoot hypoxia post-intubation
