We were taught that true rapid sequence is prop sux/1.2roc tube, without anything else. But why does it matter if we push other things in people with full stomachs during induction? If 2mg midaz or 250 fent goes in 1 second before propofol, and then sux, does it matter?
Then there are obvious RSI situations like someone who just ate a burger or someone who is nauseous and vomitted right before, or bowel obstructions or air bleeders. What about people who are getting surgery for a lap chole/appy and vomitted 12 hours prior but has been NPO and not nauseous or vomiting afterwards, do those people need RSI?
