Rapid-sequence induction

Educational use only. Not clinically reviewed

41-year-old woman for Emergency laparotomy. About 10 simulated minutes.

What you will practise

  • Fill the patient's oxygen reserve before giving the first induction drug.
  • Give the hypnotic before paralysis, then allow the modeled block to develop.
  • Secure ventilation before the oxygen reserve is exhausted.
  • Resume delivered ventilation and sustained gas exchange after airway instrumentation.
  • Match reversal to the observed block depth and confirm quantitative recovery.
