Rapid Sequence Intubation Technique with Aerosol box in the Emergency Department
Rapid Sequence Intubation Technique
Keywords:
rapid sequence intubation (RSI), Emergency Department, success rate, aerosol boxAbstract
Rapid Sequence Intubation (RSI) is the standard technique for airway management in Emergency Department (ED), with a high success rate of intubation and low complications. The addition of aerosol box during intubation minimizes risk of ransmitting the infection to healthcare workers in the Coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic. The purpose of this quasi-experimental research was to compare the success rate, intubation time and complications between RSI and conventional intubation (non-RSI) in adult patients who under went intubation with aerosol box at ED. The sample were 100 patients that divided into experimental group and control group, 50 patients in each group. The experimental group received RSI techniques, whereas the control group received non-RSI techniques. The results showed that the intubation success rate in RSI group was significantly higher than non-RSI group (p = 0.023), the intubation time in RSI group was significantly shorter than non-RSI group (p < 0.001). However, there were no differences between groups for complications. In conclusion, using RSI with aerosol box is more effective than non-RSI. RSI should be adopted into routine clinical practice in ED to improve the quality of care for critically ill patients.
