The rapid-sequence intubation — the pharmacology
A short case on the RSI pharmacology — the induction (the ketamine or the etomidate for the hypotensive), the paralyster (the rocuronium 1.2 mg/kg for the difficult airway — the sugammadex reversibility), and the preoxygenation.

Prompt
A short case on the RSI pharmacology — the induction (the ketamine or the etomidate for the hypotensive), the paralyster (the rocuronium 1.2 mg/kg for the difficult airway — the sugammadex reversibility), and the preoxygenation.
Presentation
A septic shock patient (the MAP of 60 on the noradrenaline) needs the emergency intubation for the respiratory failure. The airway is predicted difficult (the obesity, the short neck).[1]
