- Abstract
The article discusses the importance of rapid sequence intubation (RSI). RSI is the process of quickly inducing sedation and analysis in order to perform tracheal intubation safely and more easily in emergent settings. It also notes that physician assistants (PAs) should seek specific instruction, practical training, and credentialing for this technique before attempting the procedure.
