Filter by:Previous studies investigating apnoea oxygenation has shown that delivering oxygen via a high flow can maintain adequate oxygen saturation levels in a patient for over 30 minutes. It has recently been demonstrated, in several studies, that High Flow Nasal Oxygen (HFNO) used during preoxygenation in patients undergoing emergency surgery is at least equally effective as preoxygenation with standard tight fitting mask. Data from these recent studies investigating arterial oxygen saturation levels during rapid sequence induction anaesthesia have not been able to detect any difference between the two methods. The mean apnea time among the patients in the previous studies have been relatively short. Patients suffering traumatic injuries could be more prone to desaturate during prolonged apnea due to being hemodynamic unstable or suffering injuries to the respiratory tract. Based on the above, the aim is now to conduct a trial where trauma patients are preoxygenated with high flow nasal oxygen before anaesthetised with rapid sequence induction (RSI) technique. The trial is set to be a before-and-after study. During approximately 6 to 9 months data will be registered from trauma patients undergoing emergency anaesthesia where preoxygenation is performed according to standard rutin, with traditional facemask. During the coming six to nine months trauma patients undergoing emergency anaesthesia will be preoxygenated with high flow nasal oxygen. Data will be registered and compared to the data collected from the patients preoxygenated with facemark. The general purpose of this project is to compare the preoxygenation technique based on HFNO with traditional preoxygenation with a tight fitting mask, with the main focus being oxygen saturation levels, during rapid sequence induction (RSI) intubation in trauma patients in need of immediate anaesthesia.
Induction of anesthesia induces a loss of protective upper airway reflexes and is associated with gastric content regurgitation. Emergency surgery bears a higher risk of gastric content regurgitation because of full stomach, delayed gastric emptying, intestinal obstruction, stroke or other factors. Rapid sequence induction (RSI) of anesthesia was recommended to minimize the risk of regurgitation and aspiration. Classic RSI scheme mainly includes the use of short-acting sedatives and muscle relaxant, together with a manual pressure to the cricoid cartilage (Sellick maneuver) which aims at compressing the esophagus to avoid regurgitation. Though widely recommended, the scheme has been controversial for years. Our department modified the scheme and put it into use in day shift emergency surgery since March 1, 2018. This retrospective analysis is aimed at comparing the effect of classic and modified rapid sequence induction in prevention of gastric content regurgitation in emergency surgery under general anesthesia.
Rapid sequence induction (RSI) is a common part of routine anesthesiology practice. However several steps of RSI are not based on evidence based data (EBM) and are considered controversial. In an electronic evaluation form that will be send to European Society of Anaesthesiology (ESA) members. The electronic survey will contain 22 question (11 for adult RSI and 11 for paediatric RSI). In the questionnaire the participants will have to describe their routine clinical practice in performing rapid sequence induction.

In an electronic evaluation form that will be send to Czech society of anesthesiology, resuscitation and intensive care (ÄSARIM) members, the investigators bring 4 clinical scenarios in which RSI should be used. In the questionnaire the participants have to choose RSI or no and they have to describe all the next steps on anesthesia induction process in each single clinical scenario.
The investigators want to identify and show differences in standards and procedures of in-hospital rapid sequence induction by collecting data with an online survey for anaesthetist in Europe.
