Summary
Following a motor vehicle collision, a 24-year-old male is brought to the operating room for an emergent exploratory laparotomy due to a rigid abdomen and positive focused abdominal sonography for trauma (FAST) exam in the emergency department. The patient is awake and alert. However, he is in pain and is somewhat uncooperative. His blood alcohol content is 0.24%. The patient denies any significant medical history. He admits to binge drinking and smoking. The patient said he last ate around 2 hours ago while at a bar. His airway exam reveals a Mallampati 2 with a thyromental distance of 6 cm. How do you plan to secure this patient’s airway? Does he need a rapid-sequence intubation (RSI)? If so, how would you do it? What are the situations in which a person would require an RSI? What are the contraindications to an RSI?
