Course Credit: 1 hour
This is the second of a two-part course focused on the pharmacology of the emergency airway. In this section, we will be discussing common induction and paralytic agents, post-intubation sedation, and pre-medications sometimes used for rapid sequence induction. Similar to part one of this section, we will be experimenting with a multimedia enhanced learning experience. You will find HD videos throughout the module for assessment and further educational content. If you cannot use audio on your device, all videos are also closed captioned (hit the CC button in the YouTube window).
Learning Objectives
- Select a sedative agent and paralytic for RSI
- Review post-intubation sedation and analgesia
- Describe the use of premedications for RSI

In the post module quiz there is a question from a module on acid base abnormalities that has been accidentally added to this Module with a prompt that makes the question impossible to answer correctly.
Hi Nathan: Apologies! When we recently updated the learning platform, it seems to have broken some quiz linkages. Could you share more specifically which quiz? I just removed a duplicate question – did that fix the issue?
The question with the NAGMA answers is on Sedatives Video Case 3, Question 1.
Aha! Thanks for clarifying for us.Removed the question. It seems this question wanted to jump ship from another module…
Strait to the point! Excellent.
Very effective
Really high yield and concise!
Covers most debatable or interesting topics in pharmacology of intubation well. Thanks!
Another excellent module! Keep them coming.
