Our patient experienced prolonged paralysis after undergoing a
rapid sequence induction utilizing succinylcholine for an emergent cesarean section.
Attenuation of hemodynamic responses to laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation during

We felt that intubation without NMBA is unlikely to be used in a
rapid sequence induction scenario.
As a matter of routine,
rapid sequence induction using propofol and suxamethonium is provided for the induction of GA for CD and cricoids pressure is applied.
Rapid sequence induction and intubation with rocuronium-sugammadex compared with succinylcholine: a randomized trial.
They explain the fundamental principles of anesthesia, its history, preoperative assessment, intraoperative patient monitoring, the anesthetic machine, anesthetic breathing systems, ventilation, airway assessment and management, patient positioning, recovery, postoperative analgesia, and various drugs, followed by chapters on special situations like pregnant, obese, or cardiac patients; children; patients with respiratory disease; transferring the anesthetized patient; regional anesthesia; stridor; anaphylaxis; major hemorrhage;
rapid sequence induction at a remote site; and asthma and anesthesia.
To the Editor: The article on pre-hospital
rapid sequence induction (RSI) in the September issue of the SAMJ [1] makes a valuable contribution to our understanding of RSI in this environment in South Africa (SA).
In our case however, this also failed, leaving the intensivist facing a dilemma: whether to proceed to endotracheal intubation after
rapid sequence induction or to attempt a new approach.

Intubations should be performed using a
rapid sequence induction technique and tracheal intubation confirmed with an exhaled [CO.sub.2] detector in both the pre- and intra-hospital setting.
