Patient safety in emergency airway management and rapid sequence intubation: Metaphorical lessons from skydiving
2003, Annals of Emergency MedicineCitation Excerpt :Repeat laryngoscopy efforts should not be initiated with the patient critically hypoxic; otherwise, if laryngoscopy fails there may not be sufficient time to prevent hypoxic injury and hemodynamic instability. Mask ventilation between laryngoscopy efforts, however, especially with high bag volumes and pressures, can increase gastric distention and the risk of regurgitation.35 To minimize aspiration risk associated with repeated bagging and the risks of hypoxia from prolonged laryngoscopy, first-pass laryngoscopy success is critical with emergency rapid sequence intubation, particularly in unstable patients.
