   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rapid_sequence_induction

   In anaesthesia and advanced airway management, rapid sequence induction (RSI) – also referred to as rapid sequence intubation or as rapid sequence induction and intubation (RSII) or as crash induction [1] – is a special process for endotracheal intubation that is used where the patient is at a high risk of pulmonary aspiration.

4. Neuromuscular-blocking drug - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuromuscular-blocking_drug

   This class of medications helps to reduce patient movement, breathing, or ventilator dyssynchrony and allows lower insufflation pressures during laparoscopy. [3] [4] It has several indications for use in the intense care unit. It can help reduce hoarseness in voice as well as injury to the vocal cord during intubation.

5. Advanced airway management - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_airway_management

   Tracheal intubation, often simply referred to as intubation, is the placement of a flexible plastic or rubber endotracheal tube (ETT) into the trachea to maintain an open airway, allow for effective ventilation, protect the airway from aspiration (when a cuffed ETT is used), and to serve as a conduit through which to administer inhaled anesthetics.

6. Tracheal intubation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tracheal_intubation

   Perhaps the most common indication for tracheal intubation is for the placement of a conduit through which nitrous oxide or volatile anesthetics may be administered. General anesthetic agents, opioids, and neuromuscular-blocking drugs may diminish or even abolish the respiratory drive.

7. Suction Assisted Laryngoscopy Airway Decontamination

   Optimally position the patient to maximise the probability of intubation success (e.g. external auditory meatus level with sternal notch). 2. Hold the suction catheter (wide-bore, rigid) in a clenched-fisted right hand, with the distal end of the catheter pointing caudad and posterior, to enable manipulation of the tongue and mandible as required.
