Which Rapid Sequence Induction Technique Should be Used in Urgent Surgery in Children?

Starting soon · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Rapid Sequence Induction (RSI), Full Stomach, Pediatric

In brief

The goal of our study is to compare classical Rapid Sequence Induction (RSI) and modified Rapid Sequence Induction (mRSI) in pediatric patients with a full stomach undergoing urgent surgical procedures. Due to reduced oxygen reserve in children, modified RSI incorporating gentle positive pressure ventilation has been proposed to reduce hypoxemia while maintaining protection against aspiration.
