title: Rapid sequence induction anaesthesia: a guide for nurses in the emergency department.
abstract: Emergency rapid sequence induction (RSI) anaesthesia is the cornerstone of emergency airway management performed on patients in the emergency department (ED). The Royal College of Anaesthetists has stated that anaesthesia should not proceed without a skilled, dedicated assistant. It is essential that ED nurses are educated, skilled and competent to assist with RSI in the ED.
