Resuscitation Sequenced Intubation Toolkit

Resuscitation Sequenced Intubation – HT Rich Levitan

These are some resources that can be used during an intubation: checklist, quick reference drug doses and contraindications, order sets on labels and post-intubation checks and briefing/debriefing tools. In addition, a quick reference teaching tool is included describing set-up, response to desaturation, response to challenges for intubation are also included.

RSI should not be rushed and should only be rapid once the patient has been maximally resuscitated (although occasionally a peri-arrest immediate intubation is required as part of resuscitation) and the team, environment, medications, equipment is adequately prepared.

The actual word documents are here. Feel free to download and adapt to your purposes. Let me know any feedback, what you find useful or not. What you would add to it or take away. Please be mindful of course that you must check the drug dosages and calculations yourself and if operating under medical direction that they are in line with your protocols.

This page will be updated as further thought, reflection, practice and feedback is applied.
