Abstract
Background and Aims Rapid Sequence Induction (RSI) is an established technique to secure the airway in patients who are at risk of aspiration. The practice of RSI in the pediatric population is highly variable due to numerous patient factors. We conducted a survey to find the prevalent practices and adherence of anesthesiologists to the practice of RSI in different pediatric age groups and whether it differs with the experience of the anesthesiologist or the age of the child. Material and Methods The survey was conducted among residents and consultants attending the pediatric national anesthesia conference. The questionnaire consisted of 17 questions on anesthesiologist's experience, adherence, conduct of pediatric RSI, and the reason for nonadherence. Results The response rate was 75% (192/256). Anesthetists having less than 10 years of experience adhered to RSI more often as compared to respondents with more experience. Succinylcholine was the most commonly used muscle relaxant for induction, with use increasing in higher age groups. The application of cricoid pressure increased with increasing age groups. Anesthetists with >10 years of experience used cricoid pressure more often in age groups of <1 year (P < 0.05). In a scenario of intestinal obstruction, adherence to RSI was low in pediatrics as compared to adults, with 82% of respondents agreeing to this. Conclusion This survey on the practice of RSI in the pediatric population demonstrates wide variation in the practice among individuals and the reasons for nonadherence as compared to adults. It highlights the need felt by almost all the participants for more research and protocol in the practice of pediatric RSI.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Rapid sequence intubation (RSI) is an advanced airway technique to perform endotracheal intubation in patients at high risk of aspiration. Although RSI is recognised as a life-saving technique and performed by many physicians in various settings (emergency departments, intensive care units), there is still a lack of consensus on various features of the procedure, most notably patient positioning. Previously, experts have commented on the unique drawbacks and benefits of various positions and studies have been published comparing patient positions and how it can affect endotracheal intubation in the context of RSI. The purpose of this systematic review is to compile the existing evidence to understand and compare how different patient positions can potentially affect the success of RSI. METHODS AND ANALYSIS We will use MEDLINE, EMBASE and the Cochrane Library to source studies from 1946 to 2021 that evaluate the impact of patient positioning on endotracheal intubation in the context of RSI. We will include randomised control trials, case-control studies, prospective/retrospective cohort studies and mannequin simulation studies for consideration in this systematic review. Subsequently, we will generate a Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses flow diagram to display how we selected our final studies for inclusion in the review. Two independent reviewers will complete the study screening, selection and extraction, with a third reviewer available to address any conflicts. The reviewers will extract this data in accordance with our outcomes of interest and display it in a table format to highlight patient-relevant outcomes and difficulty airway management outcomes. We will use the Risk of Bias tool and the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale to assess included studies for bias. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION This systematic review does not require ethics approval, as all patient-centred data will be reported from published studies. PROSPERO REGISTRATION NUMBER CRD42022289773.

Abstract
The purpose of applying cricoid pressure is to prevent pulmonary aspiration of regurgitated gastric contents during airway management in mask-ventilated patients who are at risk of aspiration. Providers may apply cricoid pressure during induction and intubation if they expect a difficult intubation or if the patient has a high risk for regurgitation. Although the application of cricoid pressure has been accepted as a standard practice worldwide, controversy persists because pulmonary aspiration can occur even when cricoid pressure is applied. The perioperative nurse should have thorough knowledge of the anatomy of the upper respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts, be able to demarcate the surface landmarks of the neck, and be skilled in applying cricoid pressure properly and safely. This article discusses cricoid pressure in the context of safe airway management as well as the perioperative nurse's role as an assistant to the anesthesia professional when applying cricoid pressure.

Abstract
Paraesophageal hernia repairs are complex surgical cases frequently performed on patients of advanced age with multiple comorbidities, both of which create difficulties in the anesthetic management. Preoperative evaluation is challenging because of overlapping cardiopulmonary symptoms. The patient's symptoms and anatomy lead to an increased aspiration risk and the potential need for a rapid sequence induction. Depending on the surgical approach, lung isolation may be required. Communication with the surgeon is vital throughout the case, especially when placing gastric tube and bougies. Multimodal analgesia should include regional and/or neuraxial techniques, in addition to the standard intravenous and oral pain medications.

The Clarus Video System (Trachway) and direct laryngoscope for endotracheal intubation with cricoid pressure in simulated rapid sequence induction intubation: a prospective randomized controlled trial. BMC Anesthesiol 2019; 19:33.

Abstract
Background During an emergency endotracheal intubation, rapid sequence induction intubation (RSII) with cricoid pressure (CP) is frequently implemented to prevent aspiration pneumonia. We evaluated the CVS in endotracheal intubation in RSII with CP, in comparison with a direct laryngoscope (DL). Methods One hundred fifty patients were randomly assigned to one of three groups: the CVS as a video stylet (CVS-V) group, the CVS as a lightwand (CVS-L) group and DL group. Primary outcomes were to assess the power of the CVS, compared with DL, regarding the first attempt success rate and intubation time in simulated RSII with CP. Secondary outcomes were to examine hemodynamic stress response and the incidence of complications. Results The first attempt success rates within 30 s and within 60 s were higher in CVS-V and DL group than those in CVS-L group (p = 0.006 and 0.037, respectively). The intergroup difference for intubation success rate within 30 s was nonsignificant and almost all the patients were successfully intubated within 60 s (98% for CVS-L and DL group, 96% for CVS-L group). Kaplan-Meier estimator demonstrated the median intubation time was 10.6 s [95% CI, 7.5 to 13.7] in CVS-V group, 14.6 s [95% CI, 11.1 to 18.0] in CVS-L group and 16.5 s [95% CI, 15.7 to 17.3] in DL group (p = 0.023 by the log-rank test). However, the difference was nonsignificant after Sidak’s adjustment. The intergroup differences for hemodynamic stress response, sore throat and mucosa injury incidence were also nonsignificant. Conclusions The CVS-D and DL provide a higher first attempt intubation success rate within 30 and 60 s in intubation with CP; the intubation time for the CVS-V was nonsignificantly shorter than that for the other two intubation methods. Almost all the patients can be successfully intubated with any of the three intubation methods within 60 s. Trial registration ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT03841890, registered on February 15, 2019 (retrospectively registered).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Rapid sequence induction (RSI) for endotracheal intubation is a technique widely used in anaesthesia, emergency and intensive care medicine to secure an airway in patients deemed at risk of pulmonary aspiration. Cricoid pressure is conceptually used to reduce the risk of aspiration by compressing the oesophagus. OBJECTIVES To identify and evaluate all randomized controlled trials (RCTs) involving participants undergoing elective or emergency airway management via RSI and compare participants who have cricoid pressure administered with participants who do not have cricoid pressure administered. SEARCH METHODS We searched the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL 2015, Issue 4), MEDLINE via OvidSP (1946 to May 2015), EMBASE via OvidSP (1980 to May 2015), ISI Web of Science (from 1940 to May 2015) and CINAHL via EBSCOhost (1982 to May 2015). SELECTION CRITERIA We included all RCTs comparing people undergoing RSI who have cricoid pressure applied, either intermittently or continuously, with people undergoing RSI who do not have cricoid pressure applied in the context of endotracheal intubation using a direct laryngoscopic technique. We included both elective and emergency cases. We included studies of blinded and unblinded participants. Participants (male or female) were involved in any type of procedure where general anaesthetic utilizing RSI or emergency airway management utilizing RSI and endotracheal intubation was undertaken. We expected the control arm to be the absence of cricoid pressure at any stage during RSI. The primary outcome of interest was the reported event rate or prevalence of aspiration determined by a) documented gastric aspiration determined by visual inspection of aspirated stomach contents on laryngoscopy; b) pepsin detection in tracheal aspirate using the Ufberg method; c) post-anaesthetic radiographic changes suggestive of aspiration pneumonitis or d) any combination of a to c. Secondary outcomes of interest included documented impaired visualization of the airway by a treating laryngoscopist, force applied during cricoid pressure, the direction of application of force of applied cricoid pressure, independent risk factors for aspiration and whether the person applying cricoid pressure had previously done so in an emergency airway context. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS Two review authors independently screened the titles and abstracts of all the studies obtained from the search using recognition of words such as 'cricoid pressure', 'rapid sequence intubation', 'emergency airway management' and 'aspiration'. Two authors independently determined the study inclusion by using a study eligibility form that we developed for the purpose of this review. We also reported the decisions regarding inclusion and exclusion in accordance with the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) statement. We assumed that studies that did not describe the use of RSI in their title, abstract or methodology used an alternative method of anaesthetic induction or emergency airway management and thus we excluded them. Data extracted from included studies comprised study characteristics, participant demographics, intervention and comparison details plus outcome measures and results. We contacted primary authors of studies with missing or unreported but potentially relevant data to obtain missing data. MAIN RESULTS Of 493 records that we identified from databases as a result of the search (excluding duplicates), we regarded 70 abstracts/titles as potentially relevant studies. Independent scrutiny of these 70 titles and abstracts identified 29 potentially relevant studies. Of the 29 potentially relevant studies, one study met the criteria for inclusion. This study was a RCT that compared participants undergoing RSI and endotracheal intubation in the context of elective surgery requiring a general anaesthetic. Forty participants were recruited, 20 of whom had cricoid pressure applied and 20 of whom had cricoid pressure simulated. The main outcomes reported were systolic arterial pressure and heart rate after laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation. We did not consider these outcomes relevant for the purposes of this systematic review. The search also identified one study that could potentially be included in an updated systematic review in the future, but was at the time of the search a proposal for a trial only and had no reported outcomes at this time. AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS There is currently no information available from published RCTs on clinically relevant outcome measures with respect to the application of cricoid pressure during RSI in the context of endotracheal intubation. On the basis of the findings of non-RCT literature, however, cricoid pressure may not be necessary to undertake RSI safely, and therefore well-designed and conducted RCTs should nonetheless be encouraged to properly assess the safety and effectiveness of cricoid pressure.
