Abstract
Rapid sequence induction (RSI) is increasingly used by emergency physicians in the emergency department. A feared complication of the technique is the inability to intubate and subsequently ventilate the patient. Current drills based on anaesthetic practice may be unsuitable for use in the emergency department.
