PREOXYGENATION
1 6
PRESENTATION
TITLE
PREOXYGENATION
• It is an attempt to maximise oxygen stores in the body before a period of
pharmacologically induced apnea.
• These stores are within lungs as a part of FRC.
• Incresing oxygen content and volume of FRC can protect patients from
hypoxia during attempts at intubation.

TECHNIQUES OF
PREOXYEGNATION
PREOXYGENATION
Increased FiO2:
• Major evidences showed that 3-5min tidal ventilation or 8 vital capacity
breaths with 100% oxygen ensuring a tight mask fit and high gas flows
maximise denitrogenation.
1 9
PRESENTATION
TITLE
PREOXYGENATION
• Positive pressure :
• PEEP/CPAP has been showed to reduce absorption atelectasis,improve PaO2 and
increase time to desaturation
• If a patient is already on NIV continuing it for short period of time while setting for
intubation is better protection against desaturation than preoxygenation
• NIV in obese patients has been shown to improve oxygenation

PREOXYGENATION
Apnoeic oxygenation:
• As a result of O2 and CO2 solubility differences ,once patient is apnoeic more O2
leaves the alveoli and enters bloodstream creating a slight negative pressure and
increasing atelectasis .
• The negative pressure can be used as an advantage by maintaining a patent
airway and continuing administration of oxygen that reaches alveoli in a bulk flow

PREOXYGENATION
Positioning:
Adopting head up position(20-25degree) increases FRC thereby improving
preoxygenation.

PARALYTIC AGENTS

NMB AGENT
• A large meta analysis performed by the Cochrane Collabration reported
succinylcholine was superior to rocuronium in providing excellent and clinically
acceptable intubating conditions
• It has been traditionally used in RSI because of fast onset and offset , even in event
of failure to intubate or ventilate , recovery of spontaneous ventilation may rescue this
condition.
• The average recovery time is 8.5min .

PRESENTATION
TITLE
NMB AGENT
• Even healthy volunteers will desaturate before return of spontaneous respiratory effort
without ventilation assistance.

TITLE
NMB AGENT
• Rocuronium followed by sugammadex results in a comparatively faster return to
spontaneous ventilation.
• However, it is unclear if this would be replicated in actual clinical practice.To facilitate
this, it is suggested that, when using rocuronium in an RSI, the rescue dose of
sugammadex 16 mg /kg should be pre-calculated and immediately available for an
assistant to draw up and administer on instruction.

PRESENTATION
TITLE
SUCCINYLCHOLINE VS
ROCURONIUM !
• Succinylcholine is a drug with a number of potentially life-threatening side-effects.
Potassium efflux occurs at depolarization; this is increased significantly in conditions
that result in up-regulation of nicotinic receptors, such as burns, crush injuries, and
chronic neurological conditions, including spinal cord injury, stroke, and critical illness
polyneuropathy. It causes malignant hyperthermia in susceptible individuals.
• Rocuronium is a relatively cleaner drug; the only absolute contraindication being
allergy. There is increasing evidence that the incidence of rocuronium allergy is higher
than that of other non-depolarizing neuromuscular blocking agents.

OPIODS
• Traditionally, opioids were not used as part of an RSI—the belief being that
they could contribute to an increase in the time to recovery of spontaneous
ventilation and consciousness in the event of a ‘wake up’ after a failed RSI
intubation.
• Opioids reduce intraocular, intracranial, and cardiovascular adverse effects
associated with laryngoscopy and should be considered in situations where
these effects could be potentially harmful.
• They also reduce the dose of hypnotic agent required.
• Opiods in RSI has become common practice now a days which remains
optional due to lack of studies.

CRICOID PRESSURE
3 5
PRESENTATION
TITLE
• Cricoid pressure was introduced into clinical practice as a key element of RSI
in 1961, based mainly on a small case series on cadavers.
• It is used to compress the oesophagus and prevent regurgitation of gastric
contents until the airway is secured with a tracheal tube
• a multicentre randomized, double-blind, study conducted in the US was
published in 2019 and demonstrated that in 3472 patients who had
emergency RSI the use of cricoid pressure did not reduce the incidence of
aspiration. It also suggested that intubation was more difficult in the cricoid
pressure group
3 6
PRESENTATION
TITLE
• There is also concern that applying cricoid pressure can cause relaxation of
the lower oesophageal sphincter, thereby increasing the risk of passive
regurgitation.
• .
• In the absence of exact evidences, when considering the potential benefits,
many experts continue to recommend the use of cricoid pressure
3 7
PRESENTATION
TITLE
TECHNIQUE
• The oesophagus is occluded by extension of the neck & application of
pressure over the cricoid cartilage against the body of 5th cervical
vertebra to obliterate oesophageal lumen
• Applied by an assisstant with thumb & finger at either side of cricoid
cartilage and maintained until after intubation & cuff inflation
Mode of action
• 20 Newtons (2 kg) of cricoid pressure is probably enough and 30
Newtons (3 kg) is more than enough to prevent regurgitation into the
pharynx

WHEN ???
• When the pressure is applied ??
When the patient is unconscious
• When should you release?
usually when a cuffed tracheal tube protects the airway and the
anaesthetist confirms this with capnography or when anesthetist say to
do if pressure is obscuring the view.

• NIBP/Art-line
• Capnograph
• Naso/Orogastric tube
• CXR
• ABG Post intubation
• Maintainence of sedation & NMB
4 4
VENTILATION
• Ventilation after apnoea and before intubation is traditionally avoided in RSI
owing to the assumption that such practice increases gastric distension and
the risk of regurgitation.
• .Fit, healthy patients who have normal airway anatomy and are simple to
intubate are unlikely to desaturate, but patients who have increased
metabolic demands, reduced FRC, pre-existing hypoxia, respiratory
pathology, or are not readily intubatable may desaturate before intubation
despite adequate preoxygenation.
• These patients are likely to benefit from gentle ventilation with cricoid
pressure applied before laryngoscopy. This has been referred to as controlled
RSI.

FUTURE DIRECTIONS
5 2
PRESENTATION
TITLE
• Several developments concerning RSII are ongoing.
• The use of paratracheal force has recently been suggested as an alternative
to cricoid pressure.
• Paratracheal pressure has been associated with a reduction in gastric
insufflation of air during positive pressure ventilation and the effects on view at
laryngoscopy may be non-inferior compared with cricoid pressure.
• The investigators also reported easier bag-mask ventilation and lower peak
inspiratory pressures in the paratracheal force group.
• The use of ultrasound to evaluate residual gastric volume is also being
explored. Gastric ultrasound could contribute to the assessment of aspiration
risk for individual patients.
• Fifty years after RSII was first described it still continues to evolve.
