MANIPULATION
 CP
may move the glottic opening
posteriorly, enhancing visualization of the
cords.
 If
goal is to move glottis into view, utilize
laryngeal manipulation, not CP.
 BURP
maneuver (backward, upward, and
rightward pressure on larynx)
 Much
more effective than CP at relocating
glottis to position of increased visibility
CAP Module 3 – ET-RSI (GHEMS_April2015)
RSI
Rapid Sequence Intubation (RSI)
The administration of a potent sedative (induction) agent
followed immediately by a rapidly acting neuromuscular
blocking agent (NMBA) in order to induce unconsciousness
and motor paralysis to facilitate endotracheal intubation
(ETI)
CAP Module 3 – ET-RSI (GHEMS_April2015)

Mechanism of Action:
Pavulon
Nondepolarizing, neuromuscular blocking agent
Indications:

Intubated patients requiring the need to be paralyzed for
prolonged periods of time.

action. If succinylcholine is used before Pancuronium bromide, the
administration of Pancuronium bromide should be delayed until the
patient starts recovering from succinylcholine-induced neuromuscular
blockade

o Doubled in patients with cirrhosis, biliary obstruction and renal failure
Nondepolarizing, neuromuscular blocking agent belonging to the
curaroform class of drugs. Its activity leads to neuromuscular blockage
by competing for chollnergic receptors at the motor end-plate.
